Chateau Feytit-Clinet,
Ready, but will keep,
Ch. Feytit-Clinet has been making our own Pomerol for many years, and they have excelled with this vintage. It’s deeply coloured with a dark, glossy appearance and a terrific nose of ripe, bramble fruit, black cherry and mocha. There is a luxurious depth and richness to the fruit here – decadent Merlot in all its glory. Delicious now (with a shoulder of lamb), this will also cellar well for a year or two.

Ready, but will keep,
Ch. Feytit-CIinet has been making our Own Selection Pomerol for many years. We believe this particular vintage of theirs is one of the very best we have tasted. From the glossy, deep purple colour to the expansive, Merlot-dominated nose which explodes from the glass, there is great energy to this wine. Intense notes of ripe cherry, blackberry and chocolate show on the nose, with a wonderful depth and silky texture on the mouth. It will improve for a year or so, but is also sensational from the word go.

For laying down,
At first fairly restrained, this then reveals lovely coffee and plum notes, blackberry with a touch of underbrush. The palate is medium-bodied with a balanced seam of richness, red fruit and blueberry on the mid-palate. It’s almost Burgundian in style with its cooling acidity. This has lovely ample juice. Fragrant with a long, spicy finish.

Situated on the western part of the plateau in the Pomerol wine appellation in Bordeaux, Château Feytit-Clinet belonged to the stable of Moueix family wines until 1999.
Jeremy Chasseuil arrived at Château Feytit-Clinet in time for the stunning 2000 vintage. Previously a wine-maker at Château La Dominique, his efforts since have resulted in some very impressive wines.
Soils here are rich in clay which favours the Merlot grape rather than the Cabernets, and Jeremy has exploited them perfectly to produce succulent wines, never over-extracted, and full of charm and distinction.
