"Owned by the Vayron family since 1840, Bourgneuf is now in its eighth generation. Frédérique Vayron and her sister Marie have been at the helm alongside their parents Xavier and Dominique since 2008, bringing a fresh yet respectful approach. The estate occupies an enviable position on the Pomerol plateau, right next door to Château Trotanoy, with three distinct soil types ranging from dense, iron-rich clays to clay-sand and gravel. It consistently offers strong quality-to-value in the appellation. Georgie Hindle: Soft dried herbs with cool blueberry. A gentle, nicely grippy style, letting the ripe fruit do the talking. Blackcurrant and cherry, a lick of salty, minty minerality. Yummy. Arthur Coggill: Dried red berry fruit, lacquer and wood spice. Smooth with bright acidity, dried damson and redcurrant. Grippy and mouthfilling tannins, drying the back palate. Tom King: Understated at first. Warm ripeness without excess. Rich, with fine, velvety tannin and ripe fruit that fills every corner. Almost ready, yet with potential." - Georgie Hindle, Arthur Coggill, Tom King (05/2026)
