The 2015 Feytit-Clinet is one of the most exciting, viscerally thrilling wines of the vintage. Graphite, smoke, charcoal, violets, and a host of intense, dark fruits make a strong first impression. Vertical and towering in the glass, the 2015 possesses magnificent intensity to match its virile, brooding personality. There is a sense of explosive energy in the 2015 that is simply compelling. Readers who can find the 2015 should not hesitate, as it is stunning. What a wine! The blend is approximately 96% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Tasted two times.
Fabulous depth of fruit here with blackberry, blueberry, mineral and dried meat character. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish.
The 2015 Feytit Clinet is composed of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc and aged for 15 months in 70% new and 30% one-year-old French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it has a lovely nose of crème de cassis, preserved plums and wild blueberries with touches of baking spices and dark chocolate plus a waft of roses. The medium to full-bodied palate is opulent with firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long.

Bright and fragrant, with fine texture and tannins. Builds on the palate to provide length. Fresh and persistent, showing elegant weight and style.

About Château Feytit-Clinet
Château Feytit Clinet is a small property, particularly by Bordeaux standards, with a 7-hectare vineyard located near Chateau Clinet, Latour à Pomerol and Clos L'Église. The Chasseuil family retook over management of the estate in 2000 and undertook a series of measures to improve the quality of their wines. Putting his former experience at Château La Dominique to good use, Jeremy Chasseuil drastically reduced yields and practised green harvesting, resulting in a much richer wine. This small estate only produces about 1,200 to 1,500 cases of wines per vintage, and their relative obscurity bodes well for value seekers.
