Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2022 Fugue de Nénin has a light and tertiary bouquet that's perhaps a little austere in the context of the vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins and moderate depth, perhaps needing more grip toward the finish. This is an early-drinking Pomerol.

Bursting with aromas of sweet berries, rose petals, orange zest and spices, the 2022 Fugue de Nenin is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with supple, powdery tannins and a seamless, succulent profile.

Fresh nose with lots of cherries and red plums. Vibrant and juicy, with medium body and crunchy fruit and tannins. I like the dryness of the fruit, which doesn’t display anything cloying and sweet-sour from the hot year. Crunchy and drinkable. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Enjoy from 2026.
