One of the more powerful wines in the vintage, the 2022 Château Feytit Clinet brings an almost Petrus-like structure and density as well as a stunning nose of ripe red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with leafy herbs, chocolate, tobacco, and truffles. With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, nicely integrated smoky oak, and a blockbuster of a finish, this brilliant wine should be snatched up by savvy readers. It will ideally be given 4-6 years in the cellar, but you’ll be excused for opening bottles now. It should cruise for two decades, if not longer. The 2022 is 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, from the Clinet, Latour, and Feytit lieux-dits, aged in 70% new barrels. It hit 14.5% alcohol with a solid pH of 3.75.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Wine Spectator

This sports a ripe and velvety profile, offering dark currant, blackberry and black cherry compote notes that roll through steadily, with background support from warm humus, sweet tobacco and licorice root accents. Streaks of chestnut and alder on the finish lend nice contrast and cut while keeping ample fruit to spare. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Blackberries, black beans, black olives and dried flowers on the nose. Walnuts and hints of cedar, too. It’s full-bodied, creamy and seamless, with ripe and fine tannins accompanying the succulent black fruit. Long and delicious. Drink from 2027.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Feytit-Clinet is dark, pliant and expressive. Dark red fruit, blood orange, spice, cedar, new leather and a kiss of French oak all build in the glass. The 2022 shows all the natural richness that is typical of Feytit-Clinet, but with brighter fruit, more freshness and less barrel toast impact that was once the norm. This opens beautifully over time, offering a captivating interplay of finesse and power.

Decanter

Intense aromatics, dark bramble fruit, purple flowers and cool cola and cedar elements. Smooth and supple, more joyful than the nose suggests with bouncy acidity and finely muscular tannins that support the concentrated fruit. Feels clean and polished with lots of energy and style. Ends chalky with liquorice, bitter orange and an iron tang. FInessed and powerful, this should grow into a beauty. One to seek out.

The Wine Independent

A wine from the Chasseuil family, on the slopes not far below Clinet, this opens with a rather charming and focused nose, with sweetly concentrated but fresh berry fruits, wrapped in rich ribbons of oak. The palate builds on this, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, rose and toast, fresh, dark but pure, with nicely managed tannins and a sense of purity and vivacity to it. Little notes of liquorice and black bean add the dark complexity of the vintage, while the finish is a melding of savory dark fruits and ripe tannins. An admirable wine brimming with potential here.
