Producer Information
Château Feytit-Clinet is a leading Bordeaux wine estate in the Pomerol appellation, known for its Merlot-based wine of the same name. As with all other Pomerol properties, it is not part of any official classification. It has been gaining increasing acclaim for recent vintages, while prices remain relatively modest. The documented history of Feytit Clinet reaches back to 1825. It was leased to Ets. Moueix from 1964 to 2000, and then, following various legal wrangles, control passed to the Chasseuil family, who inherited half of the estate from one member of the owning family and eventually bought the other half from the city of Bordeaux. Some 90 percent of the 6.5 hectare (16 acre) vineyard is planted to Merlot, with the remainder devoted to Cabernet Franc. Soils are composed of mostly caly with pockets of gravel and sand as well. Grapes are fermented in concrete vats and two smaller stainless steel tanks. After resting in vat for four to five weeks the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in mostly new oak barrels and then aged for a further 16 to 18 months in French oak barriques. The second wine is Les Colombiers de Feytit Clinet.
