Exceptional achievement (4,2,5)

I believe the answer is:

tour de force

(Other definitions for tour de force that I've seen before include "Highly skilled performance" , "Superb bit of work" , "Brilliant achievement" , "Skilful achievement" , "Masterly or brilliant feat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
