Fugue de Nénin
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Rich, ripe plummy Merlot fruit with a nice, subtle overlay of oak and wet clay on the nose. Full in the mouth, the flavors are straightforward and pretty clingy. Bit of peppery alcohol on the finish detracts a bit.

Nov 24th, 2023Blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and floral cedar notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and sweet plums with notes of cacao and spice. Firm tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruits and earthy herb spice. Nice!

Apr 13th, 2023Clear dark garnet. Inviting nose and medium bodied palate of cassis and cranberry with a slight hint of oak. Medium tannins and medium acidity with a medium finish. Nenin's second label is a nice enough intro to the Right Bank for the light-bodied NW Merlot drinker. Experienced "Rive Droit-ers" may want to look to a good Fronsac at the price point. Drink now.

Jul 12th, 20172009 Fugue de Nenin Pomerol - ripe and lush black fruits, with textures of dark cocoa powder, prunes, and earth. Medium bodied, medium acid, moderate finish and very balanced. Drink now over the next 3 to 5 years if you like ripeness and coffee notes. Hold for 10 years if you want more oxidation and mushroom. Showing very well right now, decant for two hours.
