2011 Nénin

Great vintages improve over time... In this year of 2021, the 2011 vintage should be considered with great interest: the Château Nénin team is proud to present to you, ten years later, these bottles sealed with wax that have been stored in optimal conditions in the heart of the estate's cellars. THE 2011 VINTAGE: 2011, one of the hottest vintages of this century, was above all marked by an exceptionally hot and dry spring leading to an extremely early flowering date. The very strong hydric constraints at the beginning of the summer season were moderated by a well distributed rainfall. The final maturity was thus reached with a high phenolic potential, whichever the grape variety. A terroir in the very heart of the Pomerol appellation.. Château Nénin is one of the most beautiful estates in the appellation. The Grand Vin du Château Nénin is produced on the 8 hectares of the best clay and gravel parcels of the famous Pomerol Plateau. As soon as he bought the estate in 1997, Jean-Hubert Delon immediately undertook major work. Aware of the extraordinary potential of this estate, the vineyard was extensively restructured with new parcels planted with massale selection of the Cabernet Francs from the Léoville Las Cases enclosure. The production equipment have been completely rethought, extended and developed in order to produce the best wines out of the splendid grapes born on this exceptional terroir.
