For centuries, this former "Camp Fortet" (small fortress) has overlooked the historic town of Saint-Émilion, guarding it in times of prosperity and defending it in times of war. Its 20-hectare vineyard is located on the highest slopes to the west of Saint-Émilion. The surrounding walls and the building originate from the distinctive limestone plateau on which they are built. Since the beginning of the classification in 1956, Clos Fourtet has belonged to the elite of Saint-Émilion's Premiers Grands Crus Classés.

The TV series – available only in German – »Schätze der Welt – Erbe der Menschheit« documents in short episodes, each lasting a quarter of an hour, important places that have been honored as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The accompanying text states: "Saint- Emilion is one of the most romantic wine towns in the world. The small town lies on a limestone plateau, framed by vineyards where the grapes for the famous 'grands crus' grow. With this important wine-growing region in southwestern France, UNESCO has also declared wine a World Heritage Site. Rightly so, because Saint- Emilion represents the perfection of wine."
