2020 Château Nénin Pomerol

On the eve of the 1997 harvest, Jean-Hubert Delon bought Château Nénin, which had belonged to his cousins, the Despujol family, since 1847. A major restructuring was immediately carried out.
The pruning and trellising methods were revised, the land was drained, the vines were replanted or uprooted, and the equipment was modernized. The maturation and storage cellars were expanded and completely refitted, and air conditioning was added. A new barrel room was built, equipped with the most modern equipment, completing the total transformation of the property.

The vineyards of Château Nénin grow on a single plot of land, with the exception of one parcel. Nevertheless, the Grand Vin is only produced on the best plots, 8 hectares of the largest clay-gravel terroirs located on the Pomerol plateau. The adjacent plots below are intended for the production of the second wine, Fugue de Nénin. As a result, the terroir encompasses the many and diverse soils that characterize Pomerol. It is mainly composed of Oligocene deposits covered with alluvial gravel formations from the Dordogne; siliceous clay and gravel, quartz, granite, iron deposits and basalt pebbles. The vineyards of Château Nénin grow on the large clay-gravel terroirs of the Pomerol plateau.

The 2020 Nénin impresses with its density and great freshness. As always, Nénin has a high percentage of Cabernet Franc (32%). Sometimes the Merlot and Franc are not so well composed at the beginning, but that is not a problem at all in 2020. Aromas of cherries, sweet berries, rose petals and orange peel are noticeable. The Nenin 2020, a medium-bodied to full-bodied, pure and lively wine with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and a large number of floral, savoury and mineral notes that linger in the finish.
