Château Nenin er en for området i Pomerol relativt stor ejendom på godt 30 hektar, der i mange år har haft en noget svingende tilværelse. Dette til trods for deres ellers fantastiske portefølje af unikke marker beliggende på det eftertragtede grus- og lerholdige "Pomerol Plateau" og klods op ad kultproducenter som Château Le Pin og Château Trotanoy.

Siden 1997, hvor ejendommen blev overtaget af Delon-familien, som også står bag den berømte 2. Cru Classé-ejendom Leoville-Las-Cases, har kvaliteten været så opadgående, at Nenin nærmer sig niveauet på de mest eftertragtede Pomerol-ejendomme.

97-98 point | James Suckling:
"This is from only the old vines in the clay and gravel soils on the plateau. Really fantastic. It’s medium-to full-bodied and the tannins just roll off the palate at the end. Dark fruit and spices. So long. One of the best modern wines from here? 68% merlot and 32% cabernet franc."

93-95 point | Robert Parker's WA:
"A blend of 68% Merlot (harvested 8th to 16th September) and 32% Cabernet Franc (harvested 21st to 23rd September), the 2020 Nenin is aging in French oak barriques, 40% new. It has an alcohol of 14%, a pH of 3.65 and an IPT (tannin index) of 76. Deep purple-black in color, it glides effortlessly out of the glass with wonderfully pure notes of crushed blueberries, fresh blackberries and ripe red and black plums, plus suggestions of lavender, star anise and Ceylon tea with a waft of cast-iron pan. The medium-bodied palate is fantastically elegant and beautifully poised, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the perfumed red and black fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. A real head-turner!"
