CHATEAU NENIN, 2021

POMEROL

"I was immensely impressed by the quality of Nenin 2021, a wine that is the result of extremely precise selection—and several consecutive nights of frost protection. Offering aromas of sweet plums, wild berries, raw cocoa, black truffles, and well-integrated new oak, this is a medium to full-bodied, supple, and velvety wine with lively acidity, melted tannins, and a layered and concentrated profile with a long and penetrating finish." - Wine Advocate

CHARACTERISTICS

CLASSIFICATION Pomerol
GRAPE VARIETIES

64% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc
2021 VINTAGE

Château Nenin expresses itself on the 2021 vintage: "The 2021 vintage will remain of unprecedented complexity, both early and late. The gravelly terroir, particularly on the plateau, played its role perfectly, constraining the vine to refine the smooth ripeness of the Merlots and the intrinsic elegance of the Cabernet Francs. The Grand Vin of Château Nenin offers perfect balance, delicacy, freshness, and soft power, along with great aging potential."
VITICULTURE

The winter was mild and wet, causing premature but homogeneous budburst. The teams at Château Nenin successfully managed the capricious weather, and the vineyard was preserved until the end of summer. The phenolic ripening was slow but of very high quality and complete. The manual harvest began on September 25 and ended on October 4.
VINIFICATION

The vinification is traditional. It takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 12 to 20 days. The aging lasts for 18 months in barrels.
SIZE 75 CL

History and anecdotes

The history of Château Nénin dates back several centuries. It was owned by the Demay family in the 18th century, then by the Paillet family in the 19th century, and finally by the Despujol family through marriage until 1997. At that time, Michel Delon (also owner of Château Léoville Las Cases) purchased the estate from his cousins and undertook significant work to improve the vineyard and facilities.

Château Nénin is a very large estate for the Pomerol appellation, with 32 hectares of vineyards.
