Tasting Notes
Opaque in the glass, the 2024 Feytit Client is impressive. It has a dense and compact nose, leading to a similarly impressive palate – voluptuous in its texture. It’s packed with rich dark fruit, ripe plum and black cherry, round and intense, lifted by bright acidity and with a long, persistent finish. Aged in around two-thirds new oak, 13.5% alcohol and 3.7pH. Blend: 88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc

Grilled oak, well textured damson and cherry pit, shows depth through the mid palate, enjoyable cloves and white pepper, even a touch of orange peel. Consultant Rolland Laboratory. 33hl/ha. Harvest 18 to 28 September. 65% new oak, JM Chasseuil winemaker and owner.
The 2024 Feytit-Clinet is a very good wine in a challenging harvest marked by hail, mildew, coulure and millerandage. Dark and layered, with very good textural presence, the 2024 possesses notable depth. Black-toned fruit, leather, spice, gravel, incense and licorice convey an impression of somber gravitas. Some saignée in vinification as well as batonnage helped build attractive texture. As has been the case for some years now, the tannins are quite a bit less imposing here than they were in the past. Élevage, 65% new oak and 35% once-used barrels, will play a critical in determining the final result. Harvest started on September 18 for the Merlots and wrapped up on the 28th.
The 2024 Feytit-Clinet has quite an expressive bouquet with lifted blackberry, black olive and light smoky scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. Strangely, the oak feels a bit too present. Perhaps this is a stage it is going through on the barrel that it was taken from? I will have to revisit this because it is one of my favorite Pomerols.
