Tasting notes
The 2021 Fugue de Nénin, which comes from younger vines, has a light bouquet of blackberry and crushed strawberry fruit mixed with cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannins on the entry, moderate depth and a touch of licorice toward the finish. It feels a bit brutish at the moment but a few months will soften its edges.

The 2021 Fugue de Nénin is plump, juicy and very easy to like. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice and orange peel are front and center. Nénin's second wine is terrific in this vintage.
The second wine of Château Nenin, the 2021 Fugue De Nenin has lots of up-front red and black fruits as well as some herbal and tobacco notes. First made in 1997 and sourced from more sandy soils around the estate, it's medium-bodied, charming, up-front, and will be ready to go right out of the gate.
The 2021 Fugue de Nénin, matured in 15% new oak, has a pretty, if simple, pastille-like bouquet with red cherries and cranberry scents, just a hint of blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe red fruit laced with white pepper, gentle grip and ample weight. It feels approachable, as a Deuxième Vin should be, with a dash of spice on the granular finish. Fine. 13.00% alcohol
