Deep violet colour, the fruit is kept in play by low temperature fermentation and careful extraction showcasing the seductive, silky aspect of Pomerol. Crayon and slate, set against berry fruits. Harvest September 10 (one week earlier than 2019). 20% new oak. A yield of 36hl/ha, around 25% lower than usual. 20% new oak, 3.63pH.

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.

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.
