This property has come of age over the last five or six years and is now routinely one of the better wines of Pomerol. Its 16-acre vineyard is strategically well placed between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol. Yields in 2011 were a small 30 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend was 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. Tasted on three separate occasions, the 2011 Feytit-Clinet consistently performed well, exhibiting a deep ruby/purple color in addition to abundant notes of plums, blueberries and black cherries, outstanding ripeness, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, well-integrated acidity and moderate tannin. This big Pomerol should age easily for two decades. 91-93 points

Bright purplish crimson. Plenty of fruit on the nose with delicate notes of cocoa. Seamless, plump and well-structured palate. Pure enjoyment on finish. Refine tannins. 88-89 points

The second displays attractive, rounded dark cherry fruit on the nose that is well defined and a little more ge nerous than Jeremy Chasseuil’s wine is usually at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, masculine tannins. Dark and broody with fine tertiary flavours underneath, it has quite a spicy but foursquare finish that will need time to mellow. Enigmatic as ever. 89-91 points
