2023 Feytit Clinet

Tasting Notes
Rocking levels of cassis and darker berry fruits, spicy wood, graphite, spring flowers, and chocolate emerge from the 2023 Château Feytit-Clinet, a plump, full-bodied, broad, incredibly sexy 2023 that has sweet tannins and a great finish. It plays in the more ethereal, supple, juicy style of the vintage while still bringing plenty of depth, richness, and length. This tiny château, which is run by Jeremy Chasseuil, continues to fashion brilliant wines that represent incredible values, and it deserves more attention in the market today.

The nose delivers its blend of flowers, spice, smoke, mint leaves, and red fruits along with wet earth in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is creamy, fresh, long, and chewy, finishing with spicy, ripe red cherries, plums, and chocolate, with a silky, refined, racy edge. The wine blends 90% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Franc.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Feytit-Clinet needs a fair bit of shaking to wake up scents of crushed plums, black raspberries, and wild strawberries plus nuances of cedar and bay leaf with a hint of iron ore. The medium-bodied palate delivers a firm, chewy texture and just enough fresh fruit, finishing earthy.
Very pretty and classy with berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium body. Creamy, round tannins lead to a lightly crunchy and attractive finish.
