The Fugue de Nénin 2014 is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, including 4% pressed wine and 20% new oak. It has a light blackberry and raspberry-scented bouquet with graphite notes becoming more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a citrus-like entry leading to a slightly pinched finish. Not bad, but I'd willingly trade up to the Grand Vin, as there exists a palpable difference between the two.

Light and sweet with an undertow of coffee grounds. Really quite 'Lite' in structure. Dryish. Drinking range: 2019 - 2026 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2015)
Fragrant quite fresh the nose is light and bright and the start of the palate has bramble freshness. Sweet black plum gives more depth at the back the finish quite fresh and light. Drinking range: 2018 - 2027 Rating: 86-88 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Apr 2015)
