Pourpre aux reflets violets soutenus. Bouquet marqué par des notes florales et minérales avec de la graphite et des fleurs d’iris. Attaque juteuse et fruitée. Au palais, le vin est
soyeux, bien soutenu par sa structure et parfaitement équilibré. Il est juteux et doté d’une bonne structure en fin de bouche qui soutient idéalement l’expression de la finale.

Accents de graphite avec une touche de rose poivrée, la bouche offre une envolée finale florale très subtile.

The 2018 Fugue de Nenin is composed of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, with 14.4% alcohol. Grapes were harvested September 13 to October 12, with yields of 33.8 hectoliter per hectare. The wine is to be aged in barriques, 25% new—the finished blend was put into barrels last December. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with gregarious black cherries, redcurrant jelly and warm plums scents with nuances of dark chocolate, cloves and anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers lovely rounded tannins and a lively line of freshness supporting the crunchy red and black fruits, finishing with an herbal lift.

Gorgeous density and depth to this second wine from Nenin with wonderful purity and length. Medium-bodied, very tight and long with gorgeous fruit. Long and together.

This has plenty of Pomerol character with accessible, flexible tannins and a beautifully vibrant edging – again with the pencil lead note that I get in the first wine but overtaken by bright fruits and smoked cedar notes. No need to wait too long to enjoy. Drinking Window 2024 –
