95 Vinous
The 2019 Feytit-Clinet has a stunning bouquet of pure red fruit, crushed stone and light rose petal scents; a hint of black truffle emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with good depth, the 70% new French oak a little more prominent than usual at the moment, though that will be subsumed with time. Very balanced and persistent, this is a bolder style of Feytit, but Jeremy Chasseuil pulls it off.
93 Robert Parker
The 2019 Feytit Clinet delivers aromas of rich, chocolaty berry fruit, plums, fig jam, espresso roast and toasty new oak. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's muscular and extracted, with broad shoulders, soft acids and plenty of powdery, youthfully chewy tannin, concluding with a heady finish. To my taste, this flirts with over-ripeness; but it held up well over several days in bottle, inclining me to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Château Feytit-Clinet
A quiet, discreet 6-hectare estate that is located close to Clinet, Latour à Pomerol and Clos L'Eglise, Château Feytit-Clinet is a family owned property that experienced a re-birth in recent times. The earliest recorded history dates from 1825, when it was owned by the Gombault family. Today, it is owned by the Chasseuil family who had a long-term lease with Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix who managed their property and exclusively sold their wines. In 2000, they were able to take control once more and have used all of their energy and financial sources to reinvigorate the château and increase the quality, by cutting back yields from 60 hl/ha to between 21-40. The results have been exemplary, as the property has now come into its stride. The 2011, a trickier vintage in Bordeaux, received a notable 91-93 points from Robert Parker who further described the domaine as "one of the better wines of Pomerol".
