The winemaker

The history of Château Nénin


Château Nénin was bought by Jean-Hubert Delon in 1997. At the time, the estate belonged to his cousins, the Despujol family, who had been carrying on the family winegrowing tradition since 1847. The Delon family owns other estates in the region, including Château Léoville Las Cases in the Saint Julien appellation and Château Potensac in the Médoc.

The buyout led to an in-depth restructuring of the vineyard, as well as the way the vines and terroir were treated. The cellars were refurbished, enlarged and air-conditioned, while the equipment was modernized. Finally, a new vat room was built.

The Château Nénin vineyard


The Château Nénin vineyard extends over a single block, with the exception of a single parcel. The first wine comes from the 8 hectares of clay-gravel terroir on the Pomerol plateau. The lower plots are reserved for the production of Fugue de Nénin, the estate's second wine.

The wines of Château Nénin


The estate offers two wines: Château Nénin and Fugue de Nénin.

Château Nénin

Château Nénin embodies all the hallmarks of Pomerol's great vins de garde. Its blend is composed of around two-thirds Merlot and one-third Cabernet Franc, proportions that fluctuate from one vintage to the next. Powerful and elegant, it benefits from the gradual increase in Cabernet Franc within the Château Nénin vineyard to gain in tension, as well as freshness.

Fugue de Nénin

Fugue de Nénin highlights Merlot, which accounts for 90% of its blend. Cabernet Franc completes the blend. This cuvée was created in 1997 from the youngest vines. It expresses the typical characteristics of the Pomerol terroir, with a round, silky wine.
