Pairs with Red meat

Château Nenin 2006 represents a classic expression of Pomerol terroir from the renowned Delon family estate. This vintage is composed of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc, sourced from the property's 32-hectare vineyard on gravel soils with iron-rich deposits.

The wine presents a bright ruby-crimson color with an expressive nose of dark fruits, minerals, bitter chocolate, and floral violet notes. On the palate, it delivers a round, mellifluous structure with layers of black cherry, chocolate, and earthy complexity. The texture is supple yet serious, with firm acidity providing lift and freshness. Fine-grained tannins offer substantial body and length, contributing to the wine's aging potential.

Matured in French oak barrels with 20% new wood, this vintage achieved 13.98% alcohol content. The wine displays the characteristic power and elegance associated with Pomerol, combining concentration with refinement. For optimal enjoyment, serve at 15-16°C. This wine pairs well with red meats, game, roasted dishes, and hard cheeses. The 2006 vintage received a score of 90/100 from wine critics.
