Note di degustazione
The 2019 Nénin is exuberant on the nose with brambly red fruit, iris flower and a touch of marine. Very harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, slightly granular in texture with a fresh and tensile finish. What a delightful and captivating Pomerol. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Gamey, very ripe fruit. Treacle-toffee/molasses flavours. Cool finish. Very 2019! Not quite married – in fact very cool and almost austere on the end. (JR)
The 2019 Château Nenin is truly fantastic, and my money is on it being the finest vintage to date for this estate. Based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc brought up in just 45% new French oak, it offers a pure, medium-bodied, ethereal style carrying gorgeous red and black fruits, spring flowers, damp earth, and chocolate aromas and flavors. It's not a blockbuster and is all about purity, finesse, and elegance, yet it still brings beautiful richness and length. This gorgeous, seamless 2019 will drink well for 20-25 years.
A Merlot-dominant blend complemented by 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Nenin offers up notes of sweet berries and plums framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s rich and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and supple structuring tannins. Four hectares on gravel soils adjacent to Trotanoy lend structure, but the 2019 is so polished out of the gates that it might be easy to miss it.
