Les Colombiers de Feytit-Clinet
Les Colombiers de Feytit-Clinet
Winemaker Jeremy Chasseuil took over Chateau Feytit-Clinet in 2000 and immediately started on renovating the winery. His effect on the wines has been outstanding.
Chateau-Feytit Clinet is situated on a 6.5 hectare plot of clay terroir, which favours Merlot over Cabernet. This wine spends time in 70% new oak barrels, and displays subtlety and elegance.
There are layers of sophisticated dark fruits along with vanilla and spices enrobed in delicious velvety tannins.

Jeremy Chasseuil
Feytit-Clinet had previously been owned by French wine giant Moueix up until 1999. They were known to produce the solid but unremarkable wines associated with industrial winemaking. After a lengthy legal battle, Jeremy Chasseuil fittingly took over the vineyard as it was Jeremy’s father who had first planted vines here. Since then, Feytit-Clinet has gone on to become one of the most renowned growths in the region. As a viticulturalist and oenologist, Jeremy has driven change through manual harvesting, manual sorting and de-stemming of grapes. The swirling colours and velvety tannins are achieved by his gentle extraction techniques and the complexity is earned during the wines lengthy stay on its lees and a 16 – 18 month ageing in barrels. His wines are as yet only ⅓ the price of those of his up-market neighbours. They are only going to get more expensive as this is the up-and-coming winemaker of the Pomerol appellation.
