Fugue de Nenin

Fugue de Nenin 2020

Nenin

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

The second wine of Château Nénin, the Fugue de Nénin is not one to be overlooked. Its unique terroir is abundant with sandy clay soils, which aids the cultivation of young vines. 22 hectares of this 32-hectare estate are dedicated to the growing of its second wine. The vineyard comprises Merlot (c.76%), Cabernet Franc (c.23%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.1%). Taking its essence from the definition of a fugue – the repetition of the main theme – Château Nénin is a fresh spin on their first wine. The Fugue de Nénin comprises a Merlot dominant blend, resulting in a rounded, silky wine with aromas of juicy ripe red and black berries.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Composed of 90% Merlot (harvested 10th to 17th September) and 10% Cabernet Franc (harvested 21st to 22nd September), the 2020 Fugue de Nenin is aging in French oak barriques, 20% new. It has an alcohol of 14.1%, a pH of 3.63 and an IPT (tannin index) of 72. Deep purple-black colored, it sashays out of the glass with open-knit, showy scents of fresh black cherries, black raspberries and plum preserves, plus hints of allspice, potpourri and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy and refreshing, delivering loads of spicy sparks on the finish.

James Suckling

Very aromatic with sliced-mushroom, berry, and dark-bark aromas and flavors. Dark chocolate, too. Medium-bodied with integrated tannins and a savory finish. Structured, yet balanced second wine of Nenin. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Drink after 2026.
