2018 Château Nénin Pomerol red
Free shipping to Description
On the eve of the 1997 harvest year, Jean-Hubert Delon bought Château Nénin, which had belonged to his cousins, the Despujol family, since 1847. After purchase, a major restructuring was immediately undertaken.
Pruning and trellising methods were revised, the land was drained, the vines were replanted or uprooted, and the equipment modernised. The ageing and storage cellars were extended and completely refurbished, as was the fermentation room, which was modernly equipped, thus completing the total transformation of the estate.
The Nénin 2018 is a blend with around 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Franc. Deep black purple in colour, the nose is full of explosive notes of black plums in syrup, cherries and blueberries with hints of liquorice and eucalyptus. On the palate it reveals itself to be full-bodied, fresh and with a few layers of ripe fruit to unravel.
