Château Nenin -Subskription-

4/30/2024 Vinous VINOUS (ANTONIO GALLONI) : 92-94 / 100 The 2023 Nénin is a classy wine that marries power with nuance. Cabernet Franc plays a prominent role here, and that comes through in its aromatic presence and overall feel. There's also a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, which no doubt contributes to the wine's profile as well. Rose petal, mocha, spice, licorice, leather and cedar are all laced together in this powerhouse Pomerol. I can't wait to see where this goes. 4/29/2024 Falstaff FALSTAFF (PETER MOSER) : 94 / 100 Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Herbal savouriness and bitter chocolate on the nose as well as dark berry aromas such as elderberry and a hint of pine resin. On the palate, the wine begins immediately salty, the tannin is fine to medium-grained and has clearly been carefully extracted. A good, natural and unaffected structure that finishes with good length. 4/29/2024 Vinous VINOUS (NEAL MARTIN) : 90-92 / 100 The 2023 Nenin was picked September 9 to 28 at 46hL/ha and matured in 40% new oak for a planned 16 months, including 7% vin de presse. It is the first vintage including 3% Cabernet Sauvignon from a parcel located near Trotanoy. There is quite an attractive marine/sea spray element in the aromatics that lends freshness, certainly elevating it above the Fugue. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and fine acidity, quite saline in the mouth with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. 4/28/2024 The Wine Independent THE WINE INDEPENDENT (LISA PERROTTI-BROWN) : 91-93 / 100 The 2023 Nenin is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherry compote, mulberries, and anise jump from the glass, with underlying hints of Indian spices and menthol. The medium-bodied palate is plush and juicy, with well-knit freshness and bags of youthful black and blue fruits, finishing on a savory note. The blend is 67% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. The alcohol is 13.39%. 4/28/2024 Alexandre Ma ALEXANDRE MA (ALEXANDRE MA) : 94-95 / 100 4/26/2024 Wine Advocate WINE ADVOCATE (WILLIAM KELLEY) : 93-94 / 100 The 2023 Nenin is very attractive, bursting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, dark berries, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple palate that's pure and sensual, with a succulent core of fruit, sweet tannin and an immensely charming profile that promises a broad drinking window. 4/25/2024 Jamessuckling.com JAMESSUCKLING.COM (JAMES SUCKLING) : 94-95 / 100 A linear and structured red with blackberry, raspberry and a hint of crushed stone. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a long, intense finish. Crunchy and minerally. Classy. Precise. 67% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 3% cabernet sauvignon. 4/15/2024 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux JANE ANSON, INSIDE BORDEAUX (JANE ANSON) : 94 / 100 Mocha, blood orange, creamy ripe damson and black fruits, a swirl of peony flowers, succulent but without being heavy, this is a great Nenin, showing potential of the property's 20 year old Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, used in the blend for the first time in this vintage. 40% new oak for ageing, 46hl/h yield, 3.68ph. Pomerol estate owned by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases.
