Description
In the heart of the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Château Bourgneuf is spread over 9 hectares in one unique holding. Bourgneuf has belonged to the Vayron family since 1840. Eight generations have succeeded each other, transmitting their love for this land and its history.
“We have had the privilege to have inherited Château Bourgneuf in the 70’s, a veritable jewel in the heart of Pomerol, and have become the transmitters of a unique place and its history. This spot has left its mark on us during 40 years of our careful attention, vigilance and care so as “to give birth to a juice that is the most pure and most powerful” from this earth that is labored and loved. To seek this wine, that is the profound expression of the meeting between the soil and the personality, is to seek creation.” (By Xavier and Dominique Vayron)
Tasting Note
The 2013 Bourgneuf is a successful effort in this troublesome vintage. Notes of steak tartare, plums, black cherries and licorice are followed by a medium-bodied wine with an attractive saturated dark ruby/purple color. The wine’s low tannins suggest immediate drinkability. [86-88 Points, Robert M. Parker, Jr.– August 2014, robertparker.com]
