Dark, polished fruit rolls across the palate in Château Bourgneuf 2018, with layers of black cherry, plum and cassis wrapped in cocoa, subtle coffee bean and cool herbal tones. The tannins feel broad yet velvety, giving this Pomerol both muscle and grace, and the long, savory finish leaves a lingering impression of depth and freshness that clearly signals its serious aging potential.
Roast lamb with garlic and rosemary; Beef short ribs braised in red wine; Wild mushroom risotto

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.
