2020 Château Feytit-Clinet, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

Merlot 90%, Cabernet Franc 10%

With an appealing minty freshness on the nose, this wine is lively, refreshing and encouraging. This is proprietor Jeremy Chasseuil’s 20th vintage here. The vineyard is just 6.5 hectares, 90% planted to Merlot; this should have made the vintage’s tricky circumstances easier to manager. Blue fruits and coolness dominate and will counter the hearty tannic finish at the close. It’s been rewarding seeing this property thrive. Drink 2026-2036.

About this wine

Chateau Feytit-Clinet

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.
