2012 Pomerol

Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux

This is immediately quite serious and grown-up. Creamy-rich. Quite dark, deep fruit - black plum and blackberry. The power and core of intensity is brooding and impressive. Big wine from this small estate. Rating: 92 L&S (Apr 2013)

The 2012 Feytit-Clinet is one of the more massive, structured Pomerols of the year. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, violets, mint, sage, chocolate, lavender, smoke and tobacco fill out the wine's ample, large-scaled frame with aplomb. There is no shortage of power or intensity. The only question is how long the tannins will need to soften. Today, the Feytit-Clinet is a bruiser. But that doesn't stop it from being both compelling and drop-dead gorgeous. I have been deeply impressed with what I have tasted from proprietor Jérémy Chasseuil over the last few years. Drinking range: 2018 - 2032 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Jan 2016)

There is a brooding black fruited power about the nose with sumptuous fleshy richness on the palate. Under the powerful ripe black fruits there is some freshness red cherry and bramble giving a lighter feel towards the back yet the finish has all the black fruited power of the nose. 2017-26 Rating: 90-93 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

Jeremy Chasseuil is one of the appellations lesser known stars who is really taking this cru to a higher level. I love the nose on the Feytit-Clinet 2012 – such purity and expressive with subtle sea foam notes that gently waft from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. There is great tension here – a sleek, stylish Pomerol that is perhaps a little more modern than previous vintages, but it will be great wine that will give great pleasure.

Château Feytit Clinet

Jérémy Chasseuil took this property in hand in 2000, and the wines have got better with every passing vintage, truly showing the potential of this tiny 6.5 hectare property, set right in the heart of Pomerol (close to Clinet, Trotanoy and Latour à Pomerol). It's on gravelly-sandy and clay soils and planted with 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, with vines that average over 30 years old. Despite the name, and the statement "mis en bouteille au chateau" on the label, there is no château, just a small well-equipped chai.
The grapes are hand-picked before fermentation in concrete and steel vats, where they spend four or five weeks before the wine is run off for the malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine is aged for around 18 months is up to 80% new oak barrels.
