Chateau Feytit Clinet History, Overview

Chateau Feytit Clinet is located due west of the famous plateau of Pomerol, close to Chateau Clinet, Latour Pomerol, and Clos LEglise. There is history here. In fact, the earliest mentions of Chateau Feytit Clinet date all the way back to 1825, when it was owned by a member of the de Gombault family.

By 1964, the estate entered into a lease and management agreement with Ets. Moueix lasted until 2000. However, there was another issue needing care as the city of Bordeaux owned 50% of the vineyard, which needed to not only be purchased, but the young Jeremy Chasseuil had to prove he could manage the property.

Once those terms were met, at that point in time the Chasseuil family once again took control of Chateau Feytit Clinet and began to change things for the better at this Right Bank property and their wines.

The duties for winemaking and managing their Pomerol vineyards were given to the oenologist, and son of the owner, Jeremy Chasseuil. Jeremy Chasseuil learned about the Bordeaux wine trade from his time at Chateau La Dominique, in St. Emilion and his father.

It is interesting to note that the father of Jeremy Chasseuil, who previously managed Chateau Feytit Clinet, Michel Jack Chasseuil has one of the largest, and most interesting wine collections in all of France, if not the world! In fact, Michel Jack Chasseuil wrote a book based on his collection, “100 Vintage Treasures”.

As soon as Jeremy Chasseuil began taking charge of Chateau Feytit Clinet, the first changes took place in how they farmed and harvested their vineyards. Chateau Feytit Clinet quickly reduced their yields from as high as 60 hectoliters per hectare down to between 32 and 40 hectoliters per hectare.

Jeremy Chasseuil began green harvesting for the first time at the property. Picking is now done entirely by hand instead of by machine. Jeremy Chasseuil also increased the amount of new, French oak barrels for the aging process from 25% to an average of 75%.

Chateau Feytit Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 7-hectare Feytit Clinet Right Bank vineyard is planted 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The terroir consists of gravel, clay and sand soils. On average the vines are close to 35 years of age. The vine density is now at 8,000 vines per hectare.

To produce the wine of Chateau Feytit Clinet, after the grapes are sorted twice before and after destemming on two successive tables, the vinification of Chateau Feytit Clinet takes place in seven, small, 46 hectoliter, concrete fermentation vats, and two smaller stainless steel tanks. The temperatures during fermentation vary from 28 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius.

The wine of Feytit Clinet spends 4-5 weeks in vat following the alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 70% to 80% new French oak barrels.

The wine remains on its lees for several months, which helps add to its richness, color, and depth. The wine is then aged in 70% to 80% new, French oak barrels for between 16 to 18 months before bottling.

The annual production of Chateau Feytit Clinet on average ranges from 1,200 to 1,500 cases per vintage. There is a second wine, Les Colombiers de Feytit Clinet.

The best vintages of Chateau Feytit Clinet are: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2000 Older vintages are not really the same wine, because they were produced under a leasing agreement with a different level of quality as their goal. That being said, starting with 2015, the wine of Feytit Clinet has never been better! 2020 is probably the best vintage ever produced at the property.

Prior to 2005, the wine of Chateau Feytit Clinet was not distinguished. Starting in 2006, Feytit Clinet brought their level of quality to a new level. 2008 was even better and 2010 could be the finest wine this Pomerol estate has ever produced. Prices remain low for Chateau Feytit Clinet, as their quality is not yet known to many Bordeaux wine-loving consumers.

When to Drink Chateau Feytit Clinet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

08 Château Feytit Clinet. This château, with its clay and gravel soils, is near Latour a Pomerol. The 08 is deep ruby. Black fruit, oak, earth, and plums make up the perfume. With round tannins and a fleshy personality, this opulently textured wine ends with a rich, chocolate covered plum finish. I like this vintage better than their 06 and 05. The 08 offers a lot of wine for the money. 91-93 Pts

Solid, masculine style of Pomerol, which is correct for the vintage. With floral, cocoa, black cherry, licorice and earthy scents, with time, this could flesh out and become a softer, rounder, more elegant style of wine. But I prefer the 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Bitter chocolate, plums, earth and spice aromas, medium bodied with a black cherry finish. There is a hint of green in the finish. This wine will not make old bones. I'd drink it over the next 7-10 years. Starting the following year, 2006, the wines from Feytit Clinet showed marked improvement. 2009 and 2010 are both outstanding Pomerol's.

Earthy with truffle, tobacco, oyster shell and plums on the nose. The wine is medium bodied, soft, silky, polished, and just delicious. Drinking in the sweet spot today, the finish offers freshness, vibrancy, juicy, sweet, plums, licorice and cocoa. The wine has really developed well over the past few years.

Medium bodied with soft textures, soft plum notes were easy to find in this elegantly styled wine. There was a a light green tint to the fruit and a hint of bitterness in the finish marred the wine. However this property, located next to Client and near Latour a Pomerol is a property to watch as they are sparing no expense in striving to make the best wine possible.
