2024 Château Feytit-Clinet

The 2024 Feytit-Clinet is a very good wine in a challenging harvest marked by hail, mildew, coulure and millerandage. Dark and layered, with very good textural presence, the 2024 possesses notable depth. Black-toned fruit, leather, spice, gravel, incense and licorice convey an impression of somber gravitas. Some saignée in vinification as well as bâtonnage helped build attractive texture. As has been the case for some years now, the tannins are quite a bit less imposing here than they were in the past. Élevage, 65% new oak and 35% once-used barrels, will play a critical in determining the final result. Harvest started on September 18 for the Merlots and wrapped up on the 28th. - Antonio Galloni (04/2025)

Lots of cassis, ripe cherries, smoky oak, espresso, and loamy earth emerge from the 2024 Château Feytit-Clinet, a plush, medium to full-bodied, pleasure-bent beauty with velvety tannins, integrated background oak, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This continues to be one of the standout values in Pomerol, and it's a wine I consistently add to my personal cellar. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Black raspberries, plums, and tar notes jump from the glass, leading to an earthy undercurrent. The medium-bodied palate is pleasantly plush with just enough fruit and freshness, finishing soft-spoken and savory. (05/2025)
