Château Nenin 2019

Wineadvocate

A Merlot-dominant blend complemented by 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Nenin offers up notes of sweet berries and plums framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s rich and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and supple structuring tannins. Four hectares on gravel soils adjacent to Trotanoy lend structure, but the 2019 is so polished out of the gates that it might be easy to miss it. - WK 04/2022

Vinous

The 2019 Nenin is the first vintage with a wax seal in the bottle, so you have been warned! Apparently the wax is one that does not crumble everywhere. This Pomerol retains the definition and focus that I discerned from barrel, coming across quite energetic with pretty Merlot fruit – raspberry coulis, red currant and hints of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins and well-judged acidity, nothing too heavy or dense. A more elegant Nenin compared to previous vintages, with good persistence on the finish. This is well worth seeking out. 14.45% alcohol. - NM / 02-2022

Beck

Le bouquet de Nénin se distingue par des notes de griottes, des épices et des nuances mentholées. Bien entendu, la richesse olfactive, respectivement le côté solaire du millésime, ne passe pas inaperçu, mais il est bien encerclé par les autres éléments. Caractère crémeux mais également juteux en bouche. La fraîcheur est bien représentée en bouche également et l'entier du palais s'en retrouve équilibré. Un vin élégant et doté d'une bonne structure. Pas facile d'avoir de la fraîcheur à Pomerol en 2019…. Défi parfaitement relevé par Nénin ! 2025-2044 - YB 12/2021

Suckling

A beautiful young red with chocolate, hazelnuts and ripe berries. It’s full-bodied with round, juicy tannins. Mineral character to the wine. Smoky and chocolate notes, too. 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc. Bright, focused finish. Persistent.
