Château Feytit-Clinet 2020

An aromatic and velvety Pomerol red wine

The property

Owned by the Chasseuil family since 2000, the Château Feytit-Clinet is a reference of the Pomerol appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

The Château Feytit-Clinet oversees a 6-hectare Pomerol vineyard, with vines averaging 33 years old.

Vinification and aging

Following the harvest, the grapes undergo two sorts, before and after destemming. Pre-fermentation maceration in cement vats for 3 days at 8°C. The alcoholic fermentation is accompanied by a mix of punch-downs and gentle pump-overs to promote optimal extraction of polyphenols. The macerations lasted 3 to 4 weeks. Run-off into new barrels (70% for the grand vin) then malolactic fermentation. The balance of the production is aged in one-wine barrels. Then the wines are kept on fine lees with regular stirring for 2 months before being racked.

Blend

Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
