Tasting Notes
Some immediate lift on the nose and a lovely bright colour. A touch of mocha on top of sweet Pomerol fruit. This is lovely in the mouth: a nod to Chambolle. Firm edges - there is some structure and definition here. Depth. Silky and creamy and a lovely savoury edge in the finish. Complete and really quite excellent.

Game, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense run through the 2014 Feytit Clinet, which exudes depth and intensity. Chocolate, gravel and a host of dark-toned fruits nearly bury the tannins. The 2014 saw five days of cold soaking followed by 26 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentation was done in barrel. The blend is 94 % Merlot and 6 % Cabernet Franc. Proprietor Jérémy Chasseuil and his team have done a terrific job with the 2014. Feb 2017, www.vinous.com, Drink: 2019-2034
The 2014 Feytit Clinet has a crisp bouquet with violet-tinged black fruit, understated and very precise (a leitmotif of Jeremy Chasseuil's wine). The palate is clean and precise, very well defined with a mineral-infused finish that lingers long in the mouth. There is nothing ostentatious about this wine, rather it is all about the composure, refinement and precision. It can be summed up in two words: Bon vin! Mar 2017, www.robertparker.com
Quite a discrete, old-fashioned wine for Pomerol with a very nice balance and some real depth. For traditionalists this a good choice at the lower end of the price range for this appellation. Beauty. Feb 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
