Merchant's description

Château Nenin 1990 is a mature-vintage Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Founded in 1840, Château Nénin is a highly regarded Pomerol estate owned by Jean-Hubert Delon since 1997. As soon as Delon acquired the property, he upgraded all its equipment and facilities, including the century-old cellars which were completely refurbished. Today Nénin is one of the greatest châteaux of the region, producing wines that are elegant, dense and consistent. This fine example of the grand vin is from 1990 – now widely regarded as one of the finest post-war Bordeaux vintages.
