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. 04/2024

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. 04/2024

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

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. 04/2024

Blended with 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Château Nenin is rocking stuff, offering a terrific array of black cherries, graphite, plums, chocolate, and tobacco, with some classic Pomerol damp earth notes. It's lively, medium to full-bodied, balanced, and elegant, with beautiful tannins. 05/2023

Minutieux en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec du goût et un toucher noble, le vin évolue délicieux, complet et long. Une grande réussite. Assemblage : 67 % merlot, 30 % cabernet franc, 3 % cabernet sauvignon. 7 % de vin de presse. Degré d'alcool : 13°39 - pH : 3,68 - IPT : 65. Rendement : 46 hl/ha. Sélection : 1/3 de grand vin. 04/2024

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. 04/2024
