Nenin 2022 750ml

Château Nenin is one of the larger estates in Pomerol and has been owned since 1997 by the Delon family of Château Léoville Las Cases, who have invested heavily in its vineyards and cellar. Its Merlot-led blend, supported by Cabernet Franc, is grown on the gravel and clay soils of this small Right Bank appellation. 2022 was an exceptionally hot, dry year in Bordeaux, yet it produced wines of striking concentration and surprising freshness, and Pomerol was one of its stars. Expect plush dark plum, black cherry and mocha with fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Give it a few years in the cellar; it should drink well through the 2040s.
