The property covers a little more than 6 ha, between Tratonoy and Latour, in the Clinet area of ​​Pomerol. Extraordinary 2016 is an assembly of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc that fermented malolactic in the barrel and was aged for 16 months in 70% new French barrels. Only 1,500 boxes of this elixir were produced, which reminds me of the one from 2010, with its incredibly classic, perfect personality. The wine exudes pure aromas of crème de cassis, moist earth, black truffles and graphite, with hints of violets. A strong Pomerol, but impeccable and elegant. He never takes a wrong step and is of a pure nobility, having, however, a sensual attraction as you only feel at the top Pomerols. Don’t miss it! ” 95 + Parker Points:“ Feytit Clinet 2016 is an assembly of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc aged 16 months in 70% new and 30% second-hand French oak barrels. Intense red-purple color, with a very fragrant bouquet of blueberries and black cherries and hints of lilac, black tea, potpourri, burnt wood smoke and black earth. On the palate, it is full-bodied, concentrated, strong and rich, with firm, round tannins, an impeccable freshness and a very long finish, with hints of chocolate. ” 95 James Suckling points:“ A very assertive wine, of a beautiful maturity, considerable wealth and formidable strength and balance, as well as a phenomenal accumulation of fine aromas and tannins in the end. A large Pomerol. ” Château Feytit-Clinet is a small estate of only 6 hectares, located between Château Trotanoy and Château Latour. In 1966, it was rented by Jean-Pierre Moueix, who also distributed the wine. In 2000, the Chasseuil family, the rightful owner, re-entered the property. Jérémy Chasseuil, the family’s oenologist, managed to raise the wine among the certain values ​​of the appellation. Nonconformist, he did not resort to new technologies, but continues to work in a simple, old-fashioned winery. The secret of its success lies, for the most part, in the beautiful soil, made of gravel and clay. This is how Jérémy Chasseuil’s wines are considered to be the faithful image of Pomerol.
