Situated in the heart of Pomerol, on a heritage of very old vines—right next to the legendary Château Trotanoy—Château Bourgneuf exemplifies exceptional refinement. Its subtle aromas and smooth, fresh finish immediately place this wine among the best in the appellation, thanks to a gentle, respectful vinification process that favors concrete tanks and a careful extraction method.

This rare level of excellence, rewarded with a star in the RVF Guide, became even more evident during our recent visit, where we reviewed both recent vintages and older ones, which have aged beautifully over time.
