Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, Nenin’s 2004 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as a structured, crisp style with noticeable acidity, and good, but uninspiring levels of concentration and complexity. Attractive in a low-brow manner, it should last for 10-12 years.

This structured Pomerol reveals classic sweet cherry and kirsch liqueur-like notes intermixed with hints of minerals and flowers. Lovely ripeness, medium body, and a restrained but noble style suggest it will drink well for 10-15 years. Also tasted: 2004 Fugue de Nenin (86)
About the Producer
A terroir in the very heart of the Pomerol appellation... Chateau Nénin is one of the most beautiful estates in the appellation. The Grand Vin du Château Nénin is produced on the 8 hectares of the best clay and gravel parcels of the famous Pomerol Plateau. As soon as he bought the estate in 1997, Jean-Hubert Delon immediately undertook major work. Aware of the extraordinary potential of this estate, the vineyard was extensively restructured with new parcels planted with massale selection of the Cabernet Francs from the Léoville Las Cases enclosure. The production equipment have been completely rethought, extended and developed in order to produce the best wines out of the splendid grapes born on this exceptional terroir.
