2017 Château Nenin Château Nenin

James Suckling 93-94:"A creamy wine with a solid core of fruit and firm and silky tannins. Lots mineral and crushed-stone character. Full-bodied, rich and structured. Orange rind on the aftertaste. Less than 50% of the normal production. Solid finish." jamessuckling.com 04.2018 // Antonio Galloni90-93+: " The 2017 Nénin is terrific. Brilliant, focused aromatics and finely chiseled fruit give the wine vivacity and energy to burn. Pliant and succulent in the glass, with striking fruit purity, the 2017 Nénin has so much to offer. Because of the frost, the 2017 contains more Cabernet Franc in the Grand Vin than is typical, which gives the wine its very distinct red toned flavor profile and structural feel. Frost losses were much more severe (70%) in the plots dedicated to the second wine Fugue de Nénin, which was produced, but will not be sold en primeur. In 2017, Nénin is a winner." vinous.com 04.2018 // James Molesworth: "Round, polished and fleshy in feel, with good underlying acidity that lets the cassis, plum sauce and raspberry fruit play out. Light anise and singed vanilla shadings show on the finish, with a little latent grip. Score range: 90-93" winespectator.com 04.2018
