Nénin is like Léoville-Las Cases (same owner): a great wine, straight, tight, with a lot of length and always excellent ageing potential. In great shape in the last vintages, as Bettane&Desseauve underlines "In constant progress for its structural and aromatic precision, it is now in the court of the greatest".
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2027) : 96/100
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 91/100 "The 2022 Nénin has a clean and well defined bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, leather and graphite, with just a little Left Bank style. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, very harmonious, with a lovely silky texture on the finish. Probably this will not need quite as much bottle age. Seductive."
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2026) : 92/100 “The Nénin 2022 has a crisp, well-defined bouquet, blending aromas of red and black fruits, leather and graphite, with a subtle hint typical of the Left Bank. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with notes of juicy black fruit; it is very harmonious, with a lovely silky texture on the finish. This wine will probably not require such a long period of bottle ageing. Enticing.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 92/100 “The 2021 Nénin is soft, curvy and ready to go, rushing forth with a burst of dark red cherry, blood orange, spice, menthol and cedar. Nénin is not the most potent or complex Pomerol for the year, but all the elements are impeccably balanced. In 2021, this is a wine of pure and total pleasure, a wine more for the senses than for the intellect. The creamy finish is a thing of beauty.”
Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 95/100

The 2018 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2023) : 93/100 "The 2018 Nénin has also benefitted from élevage. There is some strictness in the tannin, but the 2018 has filled out beautifully. The Cabernet Franc, 37% of the blend (very high for Nénin) speaks with a great deal of authority. Purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice all build in this striking, deep Pomerol. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a few years. It is an impressive wine, to be sure."
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2021) : 91/100 "The 2018 Nénin has retained its outgoing, quite floral bouquet of red and black fruit infused with violet and touches of peony. A touch of truffle and crushed rock emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a strict and structured opening. Very linear, very correct in style, this is a serious Nénin. A touch of graphite lends it a Left Bank–like personality on the finish."

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2018): 92/100 "The 2014 Nénin has a simple, clean redcurrant and cranberry scented bouquet that feels a little anonymous, does not quite exude Pomerol. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, nicely balanced with red cherry, cranberry and raspberry laced with black pepper and sage. The finish feels cohesive and perisitent. This is a fine Pomerol."
Attention: great wine! Quietly, Feytit-Clinet is closing in on the biggest names in Pomerol, with only the price lagging behind. As the Revue du Vin de France rightly points out, "there are no spectacular château or ultra-modern wineries here", the reputation of this cru is built solely on the consistent quality of its wines.
More impressive than its success in great vintages is Feytit-Clinet's performance in "smaller" vintages: the 2013 is a Guide Hachette Coup de Coeur, the 2017 is one of the wines of the vintage according to A. Galloni (Vinous)...

The 2023 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “The 2023 vintage showcases the typical aromatic richness of the vineyard: a basket of fruit, refined oak and damp earth. On the palate, it is delicate and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a mouth-watering finish. Already ready to drink, it will keep for fifteen years.”
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 95/100 "The 2023 Feytit-Clinet is a powerful, explosive young Pomerol that is still coming together in bottle. Sumptuous blackberry fruit, licorice, chocolate, spice, cloves and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. This opulent Pomerol delivers the goods, but it needs a few years in the cellar to be at its finest."
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 93/100 "The 2023 Feytit-Clinet has a perfumed, floral bouquet with violet and peony infusing the black cherry and blueberry fruit. Fine delineation and quite classy. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, a little powdery in texture toward the finish but it has the density to invite cellaring. One to watch (as usual)."

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 95/100 "The 2022 Feytit-Clinet is dark, pliant and expressive. Dark red fruit, blood orange, spice, cedar, new leather and a kiss of French oak all build in the glass. The 2022 shows all the natural richness that is typical of Feytit-Clinet, but with brighter fruit, more freshness and less barrel toast impact that was once the norm. This opens beautifully over time, offering a captivating interplay of finesse and power."
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 92/100 "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. Very aromatic, fruity, subtle and fragrant nose. It develops vanilla on a background of black fruit. And this perfume is found on the palate, with a lovely touch and a juicy, melting body that grows on the finish. It's very good and very hard to spit out."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 92/100 “The 2021 Feytit-Clinet is a pretty understated release for this property, where the wines are often larger in scale. Soft contours wrap around a core og plum, red cherry, spice, new leather and white pepper. As it was en primeur, the 2021 is a relatively open-knit, accessible Feytit-Clinet that will drink well with minimal cellaring. sweet floral and spice notes grace the silky finish.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2022): 95/100 "The 2020 Feytit-Clinet is a brooding, powerful wine. Blackberry jam, graphite, licorice, incense, spice and espresso saturate the palate with tremendous depth. As always, Feytit Clinet is a wine of vertical structure. There's plenty of tannins, but they are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. This is compelling."

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2022): 95/100 "The 2018 Feytit-Clinet is exquisite. Inky dark fruit, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice, mint and lavender are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop as the 2018 shows off its compelling, totally unique personality. In most recent vintages, Feytit-Clinet has been explosive and quite powerful. The 2018 doesn't quite have that energy, but its (relatively) suave personality will make it easy to enjoy with only a few years in bottle. I loved it."

Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2020): 95/100 “The 2017 Feytit-Clinet is flat-out stunning, and also one of the wines of the vintage. An exotic mélange of blackberry jam, graphite, game, smoke, licorice and espresso builds in an explosive Pomerol endowed with tremendous verticality and power. As always, Feytit-Clinet is an especially somber Pomerol. Its textural finesse, personality and pure bred intensity are the stuff dreams are made of. Don't miss it"
J-M Quarin (February 2020): 90/100 “Dark, intense and beautiful color. Medium-aromatic nose, with pure, ripe fruit. Creamy touch. Finely mellow throughout, very well constructed, the palate of this wine evolves unceasingly tasty, on fine tannins. Long and very good."

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - February 2017): 94/100 "Game, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense run through the 2014 Feytit Clinet, wich exudes depth and intensity. Chocolate, gravel and a host of dark-toned fruits nearly bury the tannins.[...] Proprietor Jérémy Chasseuil and his team have done a terrific job with the 2014."
Garcin property (Barde-Haut, Poesia), 5.9 ha ideally located on the Pomerol plateau (between Clinet and L'Église-Clinet). Clos L'Église has been returning since 2011 to a more harmonious, melting and tasty version, similar to the style of La Conseillante.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94/100 “The 2021 Clos l'Eglise is an attractive, refined Pomerol. Crushed flowers, spice, red/purplish berry fruit, orange peel, new leather and mocha are all finely delineated. This mid-weight, gracious Pomerol has plenty to offer, but it needs time to recover its recent building.”
Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 94/100
Always of a high standard for a reasonable price (in Pomerol), the wines of Gazin, medium-bodied and marked by truffles, are the archetype of the appellation and of exemplary consistency vintage after vintage. “One of Pomerol's best wines, with happy surprises after 10 years” for Bettane & Desseauve as for us.

The 2023 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 93/100 “The nose is more refined, with precise, pure fruit and greater vibrancy than in previous vintages. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced and deep, thanks to dense, precise tannins enveloped in a smooth texture. Excellent ageing potential.”
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 94/100 "The 2023 Gazin shows better today than it did en primeur. It’s a powerful, bold wine, that much is obvious. But there’s also an element of classicism that is quite attractive. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange, white pepper and mint open gradually in the glass. There’s quite a bit of potential here. I look forward to seeing how this ages."
J-M Quarin (March 2026): 94/100 "Beautiful dark red, normal intensity. Very aromatic and subtle nose, with lovely ripe fruit aromas. Floral notes. Meticulous on the attack, juicy on the mid-palate, with a velvety body that lingers and caresses the palate, the wine finishes very well, long and sappy."
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 91/100 "The 2023 Gazin has a relatively light nose with black plum and briar scents. I would have preferred more fruit intensity, more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins. Lovely mouthfeel here, poised and focused with an underlying mineralité that comes through on the finish. What you might call a "capable" Pomerol that I wager will be delicious at several years of age."

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 92/100 “The 2022 Gazin has a primal, youthful bouquet with black plum, blackcurrant pastilles and touches of wild mint. Good lift. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fleshy, but there is still backbone and structure here. Lightly spiced with a grippy finish, it coheres in pleasing fashion. Good potential but one for the patient.”
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 93/100 "Gazin did not disappoint in 2022. The fruit is beautifully ripe, without being excessive, revealing precise tannins and integrated ageing. The wine stands out for its impressive density, which will allow it to be kept for at least thirty years."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 95/100 "The 2022 Gazin is bright, punchy and focused. Beams of tannin confer a feeling of classicism that is palpable throughout. Dark blue/purplish fruit, crushed rocks, slate, menthol and graphite are all beautifully delineated. Power and finesse come alive in this distinguished, mid-weight Pomerol."
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 94/100 "Dark red colour, intense and lively. Very aromatic nose, with ripe fruit. A touch of smoke. Tender and tasty on the palate, fleshy and energetic, with flavour and a touch of austerity on the finish, even if the aromas come through behind.Good length."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
En Magnum (March–April–May 2026): 93/100 “This 100% Merlot wine charms with its freshness, finesse, and floral elegance. Accessible and easy to drink, it expresses the purity of the plateau with a more immediate profile than the 2022. Notes of fresh red fruit and well-structured tannins without heaviness in the extraction, perfectly suited to the vintage. With good length, a precise structure, refined and balanced, it stands out as a wine to be enjoyed by connoisseurs who will appreciate its sincerity and elegant finish.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 95/100 “The 2021 Gazin is a dark, ample wine. Layers of dark fruit, leather, licorice, smoke, tobacco and spice unfurl in the glass. Broad and powerful, the 2021 is super-impressive in this tasting. If there is a name to wsath in Pomerol, it is Gazin.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
En Magnum (March–April–May 2026): 96/100 “A classic, floral, and refined wine, with beautiful energy and perfectly balanced acidity. Less accessible today, it embodies the traditional profile of Pomerol, combining velvety texture, elegance, and depth. The finish unfolds with notes of peony, iris, and violet. Serious and concentrated, it needs time to blossom and will gain charm with age, affirming the estate’s signature grand style.”
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “The nose, still discreet, distills notes of black fruits and sweet spices. The palate, richer and fuller, relies on the fine tension brought by the Cabernet Sauvignon.”
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2024): 91/100 “The 2020 Gazin has a very composed and harmonious bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and a tight, linear style that's just missing a bit of complexity toward the finish.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2021): Coup de ♥ 94/100 “Beautifully dense, full and fragrant [...] the 2017 is a dazzling success of the vintage; it's a well-built wine, very straightforward, combining velvety smoothness and balance, tension and distinction, it will go far.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2020): 92/100 "Powerful and lush, the 2017 Gazin is super-expressive and inviting. Leather, spice, cedar menthol and dried herbs give the 2017 a very pretty, earthy character that works quite well. The 2017 builds nicely in the glass, showing terrific perisitence and plenty of charactere."

The 2011 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2021): 91/100 "The 2011 Gazin has a lovely, open and generous bouquet with red berry fruit, pencil shavings, smoke and autumn bonfire. Yes, something very October-ish about the aromatics! The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a little chewy, not quite as pliant or as complex as the '11 Trotanoy, though there is admirable substance on the finish."
One of the appellation's ripest and most hedonistic crus until 2000, Clinet has since gained in distinction and refinement through successive touches (15% Cabernet in the vines, state-of-the-art technical equipment...). All this without losing the aromatic intensity and depth of flesh that are its hallmarks. Today, Clinet is unquestionably one of Pomerol's finest wines.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 96/100 "The 2023 Clinet is fabulous. It is one of the most refined, silky Clinets I can remember tasting. Cool blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice, mocha and rose petal caress the palate. The balance here is just sublime. The 2023 feels a bit less heavy and oaky than some previous editions, very much a positive in my view.”
J-M Quarin (March 2026): 94/100 "Beautiful dark red with purple highlights. Intense nose with ripe fruit. Hints of cherry, truffle, and smoke. Delicate on the attack, meticulous on the mid-palate, slightly woody but also seductive, the wine melts on the finish with good length and well-integrated tannins."
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 95/100 “The 2023 Clinet has a fragrant bouquet with bright red cherry and blueberry fruit, quite floral in style and well-defined, the oak well-integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamier texture than its aforementioned stablemate, lovely texture, gentle grip, with a lightly spiced finish that conveys a sense of control. An excellent Pomerol from Ronan Laborde and his team.”

The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2026): 95/100 “The 2022 Clinet has a lighter nose than its peers, with red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed stone and touches of black truffles. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, a little edgy though, overall a classic example of "less is more". Wonderful sapidity on the finish. Excellent.”
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 96/100 “Dark, intense, slightly evolved color. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, subtle fruit. Black fruit base mixed with fresh fruit (raspberry). More floral when the glass is shaken. Full-bodied on the attack, fleshy in the mid-palate, the wine melts on the palate towards a tasty vanilla finish. Irresistible. The best ever made with the 2018.”

The 2014 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (December 2024): 95/100 “Dark, intense, slightly evolved color. Very aromatic nose, with fresh, creamy fruit. Immediately juicy on entry, the wine develops tasty, very fruity, admittedly less velvety than the 2015, but with more lively stimulation. Long, deep finish. Very good. A nice surprise.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 90/100 “The 2014 Clinet lacks a bit of vigor on the nose, tarry black fruit with pencil shavings and tobacco, a little Left Bank in style indicatives of some ripe Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fleshy with fine acidity, though it just misses amplitude and personality on the finish where is just seems to coast.”
Delicately perfumed (the aromatic bouquet is always very floral, with violets and peonies in the lead) and elegantly suave whatever the vintage, La Conseillante occupies a special place among the greatest Pomerols, perhaps the most endearing of them. Its finesse and superiorly sensual and refined texture are reminiscent of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits (on the Vosne-Romanée side). However, behind the apparent friendliness of La Conseillante lies a wine of great energy and excellent ageing potential.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin – January 2026): 97/100 “The 2022 La Conseillante definitely has one of the more mineral-driven aromatics, vibrant and focused, complex and mercurial. The palate is medium-bodied with finely spun tannins, a keen line of acidity, beautifully balanced with an almost citrus-fresh finish. This fans out beautifully, excellent from start to finish. One of the best Right Bank wines in 2022.”
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "The 2022 vintage embodies all the precision, richness and depth one expects from a great Pomerol. The nose seduces with notes of blue fruit, toast and peat. The palate is full-bodied and classy, with powdery, well-balanced tannins. A wine with great ageing potential."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 98/100 "The 2022 La Conseillante is a gorgeous, racy wine. Pliant and super-expressive, La Conseillante is positively stellart. The 2022 is a vertical, statuesque Conseillante. As alluring as the 2022 is at this stage, it also clearly needs cellaring to be at its finest. Time in the glass releases the aromatics, along with brisk acids that keep things in check. Blood orange, lavender, spice, menthol and espresso linger on the sustained finish. Technical Director Marielle Cazaux turned out what is quite possibly the mosy elegant wine in Pomerol. The 2022 was harvested from September 5th for Merlots through to the 20th, when the last Cabernet Franc was brought in. It was aged in 70% new wood, 27% once-filled barrels and 3% amphora."
Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 98/100
Delicately perfumed (the aromatic bouquet is always very floral, with violets and peonies in the lead) and elegantly suave whatever the vintage, La Conseillante occupies a special place among the greatest Pomerols, perhaps the most endearing of them. Its finesse and superiorly sensual and refined texture are reminiscent of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits (on the Vosne-Romanée side). However, behind the apparent friendliness of La Conseillante lies a wine of great energy and excellent ageing potential.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “2021 is at first more earthy, with notes of small forest berries, Armenian paper and rose berry, but it quickly opens up to blue fruit baskets. In a lacy style, it will be ready in four to five years. ”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 96/100 “The 2021 Conseillante is bright, fresh and fruity, with lovely red fruit character and fine balance. Crushed berries, rose petal, lavender, chalk, mint,and psice are beautifully delineated. In 2021, La Conseillante is a Pomerol of tension, nerve and delicacy more than volume. Time in the glass brings out bright floral notes that extend the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in French oak - 70 new, 27% once-filled barrels and 3% amphora. The 2021 is such a classy wine. I can't wait to see how it ages. The 2021 possesses a Burgundian sense of structure, for lack of a better term. Harvest started on September 28 for the Merlots, very late by recent standards, through October 1. The Cabernets were picked on October 6 and 12. The alcohol (13%) and pH (3.6) readings are those from another era.”

The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin – february 2026): 96/100 “The 2016 La Conseillante is a little more reticent on the nose: touches of iron piping infuse the black fruit, though this is well defined and, with aeration, conveys a sense of minéralité. The palate is medium-bodied, with pliant tannins. Very focused, it builds gently in the mouth towards a grippy finish, yet there is still finesse here. Whilst it is just about drinking now, it has the freshness and substance to repay cellaring.”

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin – february 2025): 96/100 “The 2015 La Conseillante has a vibrant, complex bouquet that soars from the glass with wild strawberry, blackberry, briar and black truffle shavings. There is more mineralité here compared to previous bottles encountered. The palate is very well balanced with wonderful poise and tension. It's harmonious and velvety in texture which disguises the backbone underneath. A deft sprinkle of black pepper enhances the finish and completes a marvelous La Conseillante.”
