Description
A Second Wine from Pomerol marked by freshness and balance
The property
Owned by the Delon Estates, the Château Nénin represents, according to the Delon family, "the expression of a great Pomerol for aging". This 19th-century property was acquired by the Delons in 1997 and underwent a major restructuring that has now brought Château Nénin to the top of Pomerol.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Château Nénin extends over an area of 30 hectares in the Pomerol vineyard. The vines are planted on a mosaic of terroirs composed of clayey soils, siliceous gravels, quartz, granites, basalt pebbles and iron slag.
The wine
Fugue de Nénin is the Second Wine of Château Nénin, which was produced for the first time in the 1997 vintage. Fugue contains a higher proportion of merlot than its elder. It is thus more accessible while expressing the identity of Pomerol and the property. Its name, Fugue, comes from the world of music, a fugue being a repetition of the main theme, which is therefore here the Grand Vin Château Nénin. Fugue de Nénin is a hedonistic, gourmet, round and silky wine that can be enjoyed earlier than the grand wine but at a very high level of pleasure.
Blend
This Fugue de Nénin 2023 is made from a blend of merlot (93%) and cabernet franc (7%).
