2020 Chateau Nenin, Pomerol 6x75cl

Chateau Nenin

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2025-2034

The second wine of Château Nénin, the Fugue de Nénin is not one to be overlooked. Its unique terroir is abundant with sandy clay soils, which aids the cultivation of young vines. 22 hectares of this 32-hectare estate are dedicated to the growing of its second wine. The vineyard comprises Merlot (c.76%), Cabernet Franc (c.23%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.1%). Taking its essence from the definition of a fugue – the repetition of the main theme – Château Nénin is a fresh spin on their first wine. The Fugue de Nénin comprises a Merlot dominant blend, resulting in a rounded, silky wine with aromas of juicy ripe red and black berries.

Antonio Galloni

The 2020 Nenin is compelling from bottle. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, spice, leather and incense give the 2020 tons of aromatic and flavor complexity. The 2020 offers a striking balance of textural richness and vibrancy. I very much admire the energy and overall class here.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 68% Merlot (harvested 8th to 16th September) and 32% Cabernet Franc (harvested 21st to 23rd September), the 2020 Nenin is aging in French oak barriques, 40% new. It has an alcohol of 14%, a pH of 3.65 and an IPT (tannin index) of 76. Deep purple-black in color, it glides effortlessly out of the glass with wonderfully pure notes of crushed blueberries, fresh blackberries and ripe red and black plums, plus suggestions of lavender, star anise and Ceylon tea with a waft of cast-iron pan. The medium-bodied palate is fantastically elegant and beautifully poised, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the perfumed red and black fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. A real head-turner!

68% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Deep colour. Purer and more lifted than Fugue with graphite and dark-fruit notes. Juicy and textured on the palate, the fruit plush and the tannins velvety and fine-grained. More sensual and Pomerol-esque than in the past. (JL)
