Château Nenin
Château Nénin is a historic estate in Pomerol that is part of Domaines Delon, the family that owns Château Léoville Las Cases in Saint-Julien. For over a century and a half, since 1847, the property belonged to the Despujol family, cousins of the Delon.
On the eve of the 1997 harvest, Jean-Hubert Delon acquired Château Nénin and immediately initiated a thorough overhaul. Pruning and trellising were rethought, the soils were drained, the vineyards replanted or renewed, and the equipment modernized.
The winery was also completely transformed: the ageing and storage areas were renovated, enlarged, and climate-controlled, and a new vat room was built, equipped with the most modern equipment, crowning the estate’s renewal.
With the rigor that characterizes Domaines Delon, Château Nénin elegantly expresses the great terroir of Pomerol.
