Description

A generous and fruity second red wine from Pomerol

The estate

Owned by Domaines Delon, Château Nénin embodies, according to the Delon family, “the expression of a great age-worthy Pomerol.” Acquired by the Delon family in 1997, this 19th-century estate underwent major restructuring, bringing Château Nénin to the pinnacle of Pomerol today.

The vineyard

This Pomerol vineyard covers an area of 32 hectares. The vines are planted on a mosaic of terroirs composed of clay soils, siliceous gravel, quartz, granite, basalt pebbles, and iron-rich crasse.

The wine

Fugue de Nénin is the Second Wine of Château Nénin, first produced with the 1997 vintage. Fugue contains a higher proportion of Merlot than its elder. As a result, it is more approachable while still expressing the identity of Pomerol and the estate. Its name, Fugue, is inspired by the world of music—a fugue being a repetition of the main theme, which here is the Grand Vin Château Nénin. Fugue de Nénin is a hedonistic, indulgent, round, and silky wine that can be enjoyed earlier than the grand vin, yet offers a very high level of pleasure.

Blend

Merlot (92%) and Cabernet Franc (8%).
