Bijzonderheden
Château Nenin is a large property by Pomerol standards and one which has long been a favourite of the British Royal Family - Nenin was owned by the Despujol family until 1997 when it was bought by Jean-Hubert and Michel Delon, the proprietors of Château Léoville-Las-Cases - Michel Rolland has been retained as a consultant and the wines are now cleaner and displaying more depth of fruit than before -
Nenin is located just outside the village of Catusseau and consists of a handsome, 19th century château and a 25 hectare vineyard set in a large park - The vineyard is south-west facing and located on a high plateau, where the soils are a mixture of deep gravels and sand - Nenin is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon - The grapes are machine-harvested and then fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats - The wine is then matured in oak casks (50% new) for 18 months.
