Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Nenin is packed with dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mocha, cloves, new leather, and incense. Rich and voluptuous in the glass, the 2025 is all charm. This is a pretty extroverted vintage for Nenin, but all the elements are nicely balanced. Soft contours frame the long, juicy finish.

The 2025 Nenin has turned out nicely, offering up notes of cassis, dark berries and mint, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered palate that's muscular and structured, with plenty of sweet tannin. The team hedged the canopies lower than usual this year to reduce evapotranspiration and used densimetric sorting to remove overripe berries. It's a blend of 42% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
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.
