DESCRIPTION

Fugue de Nénin is the second wine of Château Nénin and offers an approachable, refined expression of Pomerol. The wine opens with notes of black cherry, plum, and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral tones and gentle spice. On the palate, it is smooth and finely structured, with supple tannins providing shape without heaviness. Fresh acidity maintains lift and clarity, leading to a long, harmonious finish. Elegant and inviting, this cuvée reflects the charm and finesse of Pomerol while remaining accessible in its youth.

EYE

Deep garnet-red with bright reflections, suggesting both concentration and freshness.

NOSE

Aromas of black cherry, plum, and red berry unfold with hints of violet, spice, and a light earthy nuance, offering a layered and expressive bouquet.

MOUTH

Smooth and well-balanced, with supple tannins supporting ripe fruit and fresh acidity providing lift. The finish is long, elegant, and gently persistent.

PAIRING

Ideal with roasted poultry, duck, grilled meats, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or aged cheeses. Its balance and finesse make it equally suited to relaxed dining and thoughtful occasions.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the world's most famous fine-wine region, home to legendary châteaux, the 1855 Classification and elegant red blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as great dry and sweet whites.

Geographic position: Southwestern France, in the Gironde department around the city of Bordeaux, along the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary, about 50 km from the Atlantic. Around 270,000 acres of vines make it France's largest fine-wine vineyard.

Origin & history: The Romans planted vines here in the 1st century. The marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry Plantagenet in 1152 placed Bordeaux under English rule for 300 years, and its "claret" became England's favourite wine. Merchants (négociants) and the 1855 Classification built its global prestige.

Main appellations & varieties: Left Bank (Médoc, Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe, Pessac-Léognan, Graves) led by Cabernet Sauvignon; Right Bank (Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Fronsac) led by Merlot and Cabernet Franc; Entre-Deux-Mers and Sauternes for whites from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.

Food specialties: Entrecôte à la bordelaise, Pauillac lamb, Arcachon oysters with Sauvignon Blanc, cèpes mushrooms, lamprey stew and canelés, the little caramelised cakes of Bordeaux.
