94+Points by Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast. 

The 2016 Bourgneuf is medium garnet-purple colored, it opens with very pretty notions of crushed red cherries, blackberry pie, wild blueberries and potpourri plus hints of tapenade, camphor and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of perfumed black fruits, framed by rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Blend: 85% Merlot & 15% Cabernet Franc.

 

History of Château Bourgneuf :

Château Bourgneuf (formerly known in some markets as Château Bourgneuf Vayron) is a wine estate in the Pomerol appellation of northeastern Bordeaux, boasting an array famous neighbors. Although it is often overshadowed by the latter, Bourgneuf nonetheless produces a critically well-received Merlot-based grand vin.

The estate has been owned by the Vayron family since the 1840s. Current owners Xavier and Dominique Vayron took over in the 1970s and, although they run the business with their daughter Frédérique, the latter is in de facto control of the estate and winemaking at the property.

The vineyards are spread over nine hectares (22 acres) on the gentle slope of the Pomerol plateau, neighboring Château Trotanoy and Château L'Église Clinet. Soil types vary throughout the vineyard, with pure clay, a mix of clay and sand, and gravel.
