2017 Chateau Nenin

France / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge

In the Château Nénin 2017 vintage, the Merlots on the part of the Pomerol plateau that is mainly clayey offer unctuosity and structure, whereas the Merlots on the gravelly-sandy terroirs bring the finesse and roundness. As for the Cabernet Francs, they are once again decisive on these same great terroirs, bringing a pleasant balance to the first wine blend, marrying power, elegance and complexity.
