Description
An elegant, complex Pomerol Second Wine
The estate
Owned by the Domaines Delon, Château Nénin embodies, according to the Delon family, “the expression of a great age-worthy Pomerol.” This 19th-century estate was acquired by the Delon family in 1997 and underwent a major restructuring, which has now brought Château Nénin to the very top of Pomerol.
The vineyard
The Château Nénin vineyard spans 32 hectares within the Pomerol appellation. The vines are planted across a mosaic of terroirs made up of clay soils, siliceous gravel, quartz, granite, basalt pebbles, and iron-rich crasse de fer.
The vintage
2009 was an outstanding vintage for Bordeaux, marked by a smooth growing cycle and highly favorable conditions. Wide temperature swings, with cool nights, encouraged ideal berry ripening, resulting in grapes with high sugar richness, lovely acidity, and excellent balance.
Blend
La Fugue de Nénin 2009 is a blend of Merlot (81%) and Cabernet Franc (19%),
