critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Feytit-Clinet needs a fair bit of shaking to wake up scents of crushed plums, black raspberries, and wild strawberries plus nuances of cedar and bay leaf with a hint of iron ore. The medium-bodied palate delivers a firm, chewy texture and just enough fresh fruit, finishing earthy.
Medium plus to full intensity this is inky, with gorgeous violet reflections, grilled oak on the nose, intense but has good construction and a sense of reserve, Espresso and charred coffee bean, along with cassis and blueberry, silky, concentrated, appellation typicity, and a ton of personality.
The 2023 Feytit-Clinet has a delightful bouquet that is subtle at first but coheres nicely, beautifully defined with black cherries, violets and truffle scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a deft touch of dark chocolate on the entry. It’s well-structured and firm in the mouth, but there is elegance here and a tender, persistent finish. This is another in a string of successful wines for the Chasseuil family estate. It’s on par with last year's wine.
