Chateau Bourgneuf Vayron is one of the oldest, family owned properties in the Pomerol appellation. The Vayron family has owned and managed the estate starting in 1821.

The 22.2 acre Bordeaux wine vineyard is situated on good terroir, right next to the vineyards of Chateau Trotanoy on the Pomerol plateau.  Chateau L’Eglise Clinet is directly north east of Bourgneuf as well.  The vineyard is planted to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. On average, the vines are an impressive 40 years of age. The terroir consists of clay with gravel and iron.  The annual production ranges from 3,500 to 4,000 cases of Bordeaux wine per vintage.

The Pomerol wine is fermented in traditional, temperature controlled, cement vats and aged in 40% new oak for up to 16 months, depending on the vintage.

Chateau Bourgneuf produces a rustic, lighter, traditional style of Pomerol wine that could be better, based on its terroir.

    1. 82 points - Tasted

      Austere, old school style of Pomerol is rough in texture and lacking in ripenes, fruit and charm. There is some red fruit, and hints of spice and earth, but the style of the wine did not thrill me.
