The Story
Fugue de Nénin was created and first sold in 1997. Fugue comes from sandy-clay soils found in the eastern part of the Château's vineyards, as well as from the young vines. This second wine is a typical example of the charm of Pomerol. Fugue is a reference to music; it means a repetition of the main theme. This name makes sense when you taste the wine - Fugue complements the tonalities of its older sibling extremely well, while providing its own attractive and entertaining rendition. The wines are smooth and silky and can be enjoyed earlier than those of the Grand Vin.
93 Points - James Suckling
A soft, round wine with a creamy texture, showing berries with some chocolate and tile. It’s medium-bodied with a juicy, savory and cedary finish. Second wine of Nenin with 88% merlot. Hard not to drink now. Drink or hold.
