`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

Vinous
The 2020 Nénin, which was matured in 40% new oak, has an attractive nose with mulberry and raspberry fruit, touches of truffle and warm gravel percolating through with time. I like the purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins on the entry, crisp acidity, almost brittle in texture at the moment. Nicely focused, the 32% Cabernet Franc imparts a pleasing pepperiness towards the finish. This has a spring in its step, yet there is also a sense of seriousness that maybe was missing in older vintages. Worth seeking out. - Neil Martin
