Château FEYTIT-CLINET
Red
- 2017
- 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 2017 vintage in the press:
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."

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."

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.”

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 - 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."
