Nenin 2025 (750ML)

94-95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A solid red with lots of berry and milk chocolate character and chewy tannins, but it’s still in balance, with a caressing texture and a flavorful finish. Some terracotta at the end. Bright and focused 52% merlot, 32% cabernet franc 6% cabernet sauvignon,." 04/26

90-93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2025 Nenin is packed with dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, mocha, cloves, new leather, and incense. Rich and voluptuous in the glass, the 2025 is all charm. This is a pretty extroverted vintage for Nenin, but all the elements are nicely balanced. Soft contours frame the long, juicy finish." 04/26

94 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Bright berry fruits, a lovely rich and fragrant grilled baking spice character on the aromatics, this weaves cumin, sandalwood, vanilla bean through the berry fruit. Great quality, with structure and ageing potential. Maxime Le Rumeur cellar master." 04/26

91-93 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2025 Nenin has turned out nicely, offering up notes of cassis, dark berries and mint, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered palate that's muscular and structured, with plenty of sweet tannin. The team hedged the canopies lower than usual this year to reduce evapotranspiration and used densimetric sorting to remove overripe berries. It's a blend of 42% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon." 04/26

94-97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Ripe black cherries, chocolate, scorched earth, melted crayons, tobacco, and camphor all emerge from the 2025 Château Nénin, a classic Pomerol in the making with a blend that's heavily slanted toward Cabernet this year. Based on 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon that's being raised in 40% new barrels, the goal here is ultimately a 50/50 split between Merlot and Cabernet (both Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon). Checking in at 13.4% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a round, lush, expansive mouthfeel, ample mid-palate volume, wonderful balance, and a great finish. The quality at Nenin continues to impress." 05/26

94 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Cabernet aromas coming through on the nose with blackcurrant, cedar and chocolate. Smooth and velvety with a lovely supple expression that shows texture but also bounce thanks to the fruit and acidity. Great structure, lovely energy and focus here – nothing overdone. A light, crisp and crunchy style yet so delicate with a real focus on clarity. Feels really well constructed with an overall cool and fresh aspect. Lovely. I really like it. The Cabernet speaks strongly in the blend – great stuff, although blind it would be hard to place this immediately in Pomerol." 03/26
