WINE TYPE: Red
Château Nénin is a rather large property in the appellation of Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. It’s located just outside the village of Catusseau.
Jean-Hubert Delon, proprietor of Château Léoville Las Cases, long knew Château Nénin’s potential; he bought it from the Despujol family in 1997.
The Delon family quickly got to work, with major investment and renovation in the vineyard and the winery – replanting a huge amount of the vineyard to best suit the soils here.
Of the estate’s 32 hectares, around 25 are currently in production, planted to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Most plantings are in one block, which is surrounded on two sides by Château Trotanoy.
There’s also a smaller plot near Le Pin.
This is an elegant Pomerol with huge ageing potential and offering value for money.
Decant at least 2 hours before tasting to release the aromas.
91/100 JAMES SUCKLING (January 2020)
Very attractive red with crushed-berry aromas and salty, red-fruit flavors. Medium body. Very fine tannins. Bright and vivid. Shows good energy for the second wine. Better after 2021.
