Tasting notes
Readers should keep an eye on this property situated between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol. The proprietor, the Chasseuil family, has become serious about quality since its long-term lease with the house of Jean-Pierre Moueix expired. 2003 was a challenging vintage for most Pomerol properties, but Feytit-Clinet’s 2003 has turned out reasonably well. Fashioned from a final blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, it possesses a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, a spicy, earthy nose of black cherries and berries, a monolithic attack, decent density as well as concentration, and moderate tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014.

Medium ruby-red. Classic Pomerol aromas of black raspberry, plum, iron, coffee and smoke. Silky and broad, with a lovely restrained sweetness. Flavors of currant, plum and licorice. Finishes with rather fine tannins and very good aromatic persistence. Seems quite gently extracted.
