Made from 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Château Feytit-Clinet isn’t going to make anyone forget the 2015, but it’s certainly a brilliant wine that excels in the vintage. Offering a perfumed, complex, traditional style in its ripe red currants, black cherries, smoked herbs, sous bois, and floral nuances, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a light, graceful, incredibly seamless texture, fine tannin, and a great finish. This beauty is all about finesse and elegance, is perfectly balanced, and while already beautiful, should keep for 15+ years.

Truffle, mint, licorice and tobacco notes pop as soon as you meet the glass. At the moment, it takes a bit of coaxing before the flowers and red fruits come to the surface, which is as it should be for a wine this young. On the palate, the wine is soft, polished, forward, fruit and fresh, with sweetness to the fruits that carry through to the finish. Give this classic example of Feytit-Clinet another 5 years and this should hit its stride. 92 Points Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-tasting-note/?vintage=2014&wine=Chateau%20Feytit%20Clinet

The 2014 Feytit Clinet has a crisp bouquet with violet-tinged black fruit, understated and very precise (a leitmotif of Jeremy Chasseuil's wine). The palate is clean and precise, very well defined with a mineral-infused finish that lingers long in the mouth. There is nothing ostentatious about this wine, rather it is all about the composure, refinement and precision. It can be summed up in two words: Bon vin! - Neal Martin
