This sports a high-gloss toast that has yet to be fully absorbed, resulting in a cloak of dried anise, warm vanilla and violet over a core of steeped plum, açaí and mulberry fruit. Fruitcake, graphite and apple wood notes frame the finish, which shows length and cut. There’s polish and energy — this just needs time to fully knit. Ambitious and impressive. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2040.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Bordeaux: The Pinnacle of Terroir Expression In the illustrious realm of wine, Bordeaux stands as a beacon of excellence, where history, tradition, and terroir converge to create some of the world’s most iconic wines. Bordeaux’s rich mosaic of vineyards is characterized by the left bank, right bank, and the sweet symphony of Sauternes. Each of […]
Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir.
Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Aromas of plums, dark berries, tobacco leaf and violets introduce the 2022 Nenin, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's enveloping and pillowy, with good depth of fruit, sweet tannin and a suave, seamless profile. This blend of 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc is one of the finest Nenins produced in recent times.

A plummy but complex and refined nose with some baking spices, cedar, hibiscus and ripe red cherries. Juicy and round, this has a linear, medium-bodied palate evenly coated with fresh fruit and silky tannins. 64% merlot and 36% cabernet franc. Drink from 2027.

The 2022 Château Nenin is medium to full-bodied, with ripe blackcurrants, spice, leafy herbs, and chocolate aromatics, solid mid-palate depth, and polished, nicely integrated tannins. Elegant and balanced, it has a refined, structured feel and plenty of length. It should evolve well for 15+ years.

The 2022 Nénin has a clean and well defined bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, leather and graphite, with just a little Left Bank style. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, very harmonious, with a lovely silky texture on the finish. Probably this will not need quite as much bottle age. Seductive. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

The grand vin from Nenin, a Delon property, is 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, with 7% press wine, and the élevage was in 39% new oak barrels. This has red plum on the nose, with black pepper, mint, crushed iris and a little fresh candle smoke. The palate is supple, light-footed, fairly relaxed, with delicate and floral fruits like that on the nose, and just a light and rather powdery frame of tannins which feels quite delicate in the context of the vintage. The structure is so filigree in style I suspect you could drink this in just a few years, although it has the structure to evolve over five to ten for certain. Nicely done. The alcohol on the label is 14%.
