Château Nenin 2020 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the property of Château Nenin in the appellation of Pomerol. Founded in 1840, Château Nénin is a highly regarded Pomerol estate owned by Jean-Hubert Delon since 1997. Today Nénin is one of the best châteaux of the region, producing wines that are elegant, dense and consistently high-quality. The 2020 Nenin is a blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Franc, and was matured in 40% new oak. "The classic Nenin pencil lead here - you get an intellectual approach to Pomerol at Nenin, with an opening of graphite and liquorice root, but it widens out to show fleshier style of ripe raspberry and black cherry. The tannins give a bite on the finish, and this is one I suggest leaving for a good six to eight years before drinking." Jane Anson, 2021
