Chateau Nenin
All products from this vendorThe Château Nenin winery and the surrounding area are considered huge even by Pomerol standards. In addition, the royal family of England has long loved his wine. Until 1997, Château Nenin belonged to the Despujols family, and then Jean-Hubert and Michel Delon, the owners of Château Léoville-Las-Cases, bought the winery. Michelle Roland retained his position as a consultant, and today the wines are cleaner than before and have a deeper fruitiness. The beautiful building of the winery was built in the 19th century, and the vineyard of 25 hectares is located in a large park near the village of Catusso. The vineyard is located in a southwest direction and is located on a high plateau, the soil of which contains gravel and sand.

Pomerol is the smallest appellation in Bordeaux. It doesn’t use any classification systems - it's all democracy here. Houses like Petrus and Le Pin have truly earned their cult status in the wine world. Merlot is the dominant grape here. The soil is mostly gravel, some clay can only be found near the Saint Emilion region. Wines are rich, silky, with a dark, deep colour, nice acidity and tannins. The aroma is composed of juicy dark plums and cream. The best samples are made for long ageing.
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
