Chateau Feytit Clinet is located due west of the famous plateau of Pomerol, close to Chateau Clinet, Latour a’ Pomerol and Clos L’Eglise. The earliest mentions of Chateau Feytit Clinet date all the way back to 1825, when it was owned by a member of the de Gombault family. By 1964, the estate entered into a lease and management agreement with Ets. Moueix that lasted until 2000. At that point in time the Chasseuil family once again took control of Chateau Feytit Clinet and began to change things for the better at this Right Bank property and their wines.
Jancis Robinson 2011 writing about the 2001 vintage:
Having tasted a wide range of 2001 bordeaux now that they have reached the magic age of 10 years, many of them in a single tasting very recently, I would reiterate what I wrote nine years ago: 'If I have two words of advice about Bordeaux's 2001s, they are: buy Sauternes'.
But the difference is that now that the red wines have benefited from so many years in bottle, they look considerably more charming than they did at just a few months old. In fact those who bought 2001 red bordeaux en primeur should feel quite pleased with themselves. This was a vintage that has long been overshadowed by the more famous 2000, and to begin with was lumped together with the 2002 as one of the weaker vintages of the beginning of the new century. But over the last two or three years, all my tastings have suggested that 2001 is generally much better than 2002 and can in some instances show better than the equivalent 2000 - especially the St-Émilions and Pomerols on the right bank of the Gironde.
