Description

The density and freshness of a great Pomerol red wine

The estate

Owned by Domaines Delon, Château Nénin embodies, according to the Delon family, "the expression of a great age-worthy Pomerol." Acquired by the Delon family in 1997, this 19th-century property has undergone extensive restructuring, bringing Château Nénin to the pinnacle of Pomerol today.

The vineyard

Located on the Pomerol plateau, the Château Nénin vineyard covers 32 hectares, with 8 dedicated to the Grand Vin. The vines are planted on a mosaic of terroirs composed of clay soils, siliceous gravel, quartz, granite, basalt pebbles, and iron-rich crasse.

The vintage

A sunny vintage, 2011 was the hottest year after the 2003 heatwave. An especially warm and dry spring led to an extremely early flowering. The start of summer was marked by significant water stress, gradually offset by timely rainfall beneficial for the vineyard. These conditions allowed for excellent phenolic ripeness, optimal juice concentration, and a beautiful sugar-acid balance thanks to mild nights. Harvest took place early, from September 5th to 15th, 2011.

Blend

Merlot (78%) and Cabernet Franc (22%).

Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Nénin 2011

Tasting

Gourmet, powerful, and fleshy while retaining freshness, the Merlot blends beautifully with the elegance, finesse, length, and density of the Cabernet Franc. The tannins are structured with a dense, tight-knit texture. Château Nénin 2011 impresses with its robust presence and remarkable freshness.

Serving

It is recommended to decant the wine 1 hour before tasting.
