2022 Château Nenin, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 64% Merlot; 36% Cabernet Franc.

Nénin is owned by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases. The team have worked hard recently to find the balance between a more accessible style in youth without losing sight of the slight austerity which allows the wine to age so well. 

There is now a move to conducting some malolactic fermentation in barrel, known to add a creamy element to the aroma and palate. The 2022 shows real finesse and good depth. All the elements appear to be in place: interesting floral aromas, creamy blackberry, along with high tones of grass and lead pencil from the Cabernet Franc. 

Drink 2030 - 2048

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 91-93/100
The 2022 Nénin was picked September 1-23, a relatively long harvest. The nose is quite opulent with black cherries, boysenberry and a touch of fi. Generous and bold. The palate is medium-bodied with dark chocolate and espresso-laced black fruit, granular tannins, and well-judged acidity. The 39% new oak needs a few months to be assimilated. Composed and quite persistent, this should drink well after 3-5 years.Drink 2027 - 2045Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (April 2023)

Antonio Galloni 92-94/100
The 2022 Nénin is terrific. Pliant, rich and creamy in the glass, the 2022 is a formidable example of the year. Soft, plush contours wrap around a core of red/purplish berry fruit. Touches of blood orange, mint, cinnamon and rose petals lend nuance to this sensual, alluring Pomerol from the Delon family. The 2022 is beautifully done.Drink 2028 - 2042antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (April 2023)

Jeb Dunnuck 92-94/100
Ripe black cherries, red plums, spice, dried herbs, and chocolate all emerge from the 2022 Château Nenin, an incredibly ripe, sexy, full-bodied Pomerol revealing a broad, opulent mid-palate and velvety tannins. Based on 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, this is another concentrated, inky-hued, powerful 2022 that will demand bottle age.jeb_dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com (May 2023)

A juicy and crunchy red with blackberry, chocolate, and hazelnut. Mocha. Full to medium body with a creamy texture. Lots going on here. 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (April 2023)

Georgie Hindle 94/100
Intensely fragrant, floral, ripe fruit with milk chocolate, vanilla, caramel, roses, violets, and strawberries. Juicy and slender, this is sleek and beautifully supple on the palate, moving with grace and depth but not heavy or too rich. There’s an intensity to the fruit flavours, though, with hints of liquorice, clove and cedar; not a light, easy wine; there’s power and concentration, but so well delivered with balanced acidity. Long finish with lingering clarity. 3.69pH. 65IPT. A yield of 33hl/ha.Drink 2027 - 2042Georgina Hindle, Decanter.com (April 2023)

64% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Deep crimson hue. Fresh and floral with just a hint of oak. Ripe core and smooth tannins with decent length on the finish. A touch warm but reasonable balance. Needs to knit. 14.3%.Drink 2028 – 2040jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (May 2023)

William Kelley 93-95/100
A blend of 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Nenin delivers aromas of cherries, violets, sweet berries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate that's rich, succulent and seamless, its ample core of fruit largely concealing its sweet, powdery tannins.William Kelley, Wine Advocate (April 2023)

About this wine

Pomerol

Pomerol

With 150 or so producers and roughly 740 hectares of vineyards, the smallest of Bordeaux's major appellations is home to myriad bijou domaines – many making little more than 1,000 cases per annum. If the topography and architecture of Pomerol are typical, the style of its wines is anything but. The best vineyards are planted on a seam of rich clay extending across the raised plateau of Pomerol from the boundary of St Emilion.
