critic reviews
A wine from the Chasseuil family, on the slopes not far below Clinet, this opens with a rather charming and focused nose, with sweetly concentrated but fresh berry fruits, wrapped in rich ribbons of oak. The palate builds on this, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, rose and toast, fresh, dark but pure, with nicely managed tannins and a sense of purity and vivacity to it. Little notes of liquorice and black bean add the dark complexity of the vintage, while the finish is a melding of savory dark fruits and ripe tannins. An admirable wine brimming with potential here.
The 2022 Feytit-Clinet has a beautiful bouquet with blackcurrant, wild strawberry, cedar and black truffle scents emerging with time alongside a violet aroma. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious with finely chiseled tannins, crisp acidity and just a simulacrum of black chocolate toward the finish. It needs time, but the energy emanating from this young Pomerol is palpable. This is exquisite.
