Youthful energy runs through Chateau Bourgneuf 2017, with vivid plum and cassis fruit wrapped in firm, dark tannins and underpinned by a savory, earthy streak. Hints of tobacco and herbs add complexity, while the vibrant acidity keeps the wine precise and refreshing through the finish.

Château Bourgneuf is a classic Pomerol from a single, nine-hectare slope of gravel-and-clay with iron-rich subsoils next door to Trotanoy, planted mainly to old-vine Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Made by the Vayron family, it’s known for deep, dense yet finely layered wines with ripe red and dark-fruit character, supple but structured tannins, and a seductive richness that drinks well young but gains real complexity with time in bottle.
