Chateau Feytit Clinet is located due west of the famous plateau of Pomerol, close to Chateau Clinet, Latour Pomerol, and Clos LEglise. There is history here. In fact, the earliest mentions of Chateau Feytit Clinet date all the way back to 1825, when it was owned by a member of the de Gombault family.
By 1964, the estate entered into a lease and management agreement with Ets. Moueix lasted until 2000. However, there was another issue needing care as the city of Bordeaux owned 50% of the vineyard, which needed to not only be purchased, but the young Jeremy Chasseuil had to prove he could manage the property.
The 7-hectare Feytit Clinet Right Bank vineyard is planted 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The terroir consists of gravel, clay and sand soils. On average the vines are close to 35 years of age. The vine density is now at 8,000 vines per hectare.

90-92 Points – “The Wine Advocate”, Robert M. Parker, Jr. (August 2014)
“An unquestionable star of the vintage, this 18-acre vineyard is near Trotanoy, Latour a Pomerol and Clinet. The wine is made from 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Only 50% of the production made it into the Grand Vin label. Surprisingly it sports a lofty 13.4% natural alcohol. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, incense and camphor, the wine shows surprising depth, a reasonably broad, succulent mouthfeel and a luscious, impressive finish. This is atypically rich, juicy and succulent for a 2013. Drink it over the next decade or more.”
