19 Rene Gabriel
67 % Merlot, 33 % Cabernet Franc. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Noch nie war ein Nenin dunkelbeerig bei einer Primeurverkostung, Brombeeren und Heidelbeeren, Lakritze, schöne Tiefe anzeigend. Im Gaumen aromatisch, samtig, weiche Textur, Cassis à gogo, sehr lang und auch enorm aromatisch. Das ist bei Weitem der beste Nenin der noch jungen Délon-Geschichte. Und er erinnert irgendwie an die ganz grossen Jahrgänge von ganz früher. 19/20 2024 – 2055

The 2015 Nenin is a blend of 67% Merlot and 33% Cabernet Franc, cropped at 37 hl/ha between 17 September and 5 October over nine picking days. The alcohol arrives at 14.3%. Matured in 35% new oak, it sports a precise and elegant bouquet. This is a more nuanced Nenin compared to recent vintages whereby the Merlot is more expressive than the Cabernet Franc at present. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin. This is very well balanced, a more sophisticated Nenin than in recent years, due to Jean-Hubert Delon's decision to deselect some worthy parcels into the deuxième vin. There is an attractive sappiness towards the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. I would just like to see that Cabernet Franc finding its voice by the time this 2015 is in bottle, but this Nenin has very good potential. One to watch

Packed with fresh plum, black licorice and boysenberry coulis flavors, all inlaid with enticing spice notes. Offers a pure finish, leaning a bit toward stony cut rather than the velvety side. A very solid effort.—J.M.

Château Nenin
Château Nenin stands as one of the grandest properties in Pomerol, lying on the outskirts of the Catusseau village. The property is home to 25 hectares of vineyards and a beautiful 19th century château. Since 1997, the estate has been owned by the Delon family of châteaux Léoville Las Cases and Potensac. The wine is a blend of mostly Merlot with smaller parts of Cabernet Franc (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). Aged in 50% new oak barrels for 18 months, Nenin is a deep, fruit-forward red. The famed Michel Rolland also consults for the château.
