‘The 2015 Feytit-Clinet is one of the most exciting, viscerally thrilling wines of the vintage…Readers who can find the 2015 should not hesitate, as it is stunning.’
Antonio Galloni
In the last several vintages Feytit-Clinet’s quality has seen a significant rise in quality. It has truly peaked in 2015 with a stunning effort. Priced lower than the ’09 & ’10 and Jancis Robinson asserting that its will offer ‘lots of reward’, earlier than many other wines from the appellation it seems a savvy purchase.
A less well-known name in Pomerol it may be but with neighbours like Clos L’Eglise, Clinet and Latour A Pomerol it shares some very fine terroir indeed. The combination of a great vintage, which promised and delivered in abundance in Pomerol, in combination with an estate on the rise have resulted in a wine of considerable stature. Vibrant cherries, smoke and oak dance seamlessly together. The dollop of Cabernet Franc delivers a satisfying hit of dark berries and the merest hint of savoury character. Lovely.

Château Feytit-Clinet 2015, Pomerol 
The 2015 Château Feytit-Clinet has a perfumed and floral bouquet, wilted violets filtering through the dark cherry and cassis fruit, gaining more complexity as it opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin that are cloaked in layers of lightly toasted dark berry fruit, the new oak a little obvious at the moment, yet there is more than sufficient fruit to subsume all that with 6-8 years in bottle. Jeremy Chasseuil has created another exemplary Pomerol from this estate that continues to threaten to break into the big league. This is absolutely delicious and it deserves the great recognition that this wine currently attracts.
