Lovely, pretty fruit to this with a medium to full body and round tannins that fold nicely into the wine. It’s rich and layered. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc

The second wine of Château Nenin, the 2020 Fugue De Nenin checks in as 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc brought up in just 20% new French oak. It offers a dense purple/plum color as well as solid aromatics of ripe black cherries, currants, chocolate, and leafy herbs. Rich and medium to full-bodied, with plenty of mid-palate depth, this concentrated, powerful second wine will keep for 15 years.

For Pomerol, the 2020 vintage was nothing short of exemplary, and many consider it to be one of the finest-performing appellations of the 2020 Bordeaux vintage.
