Tasting Notes

Captures soft raspberry and red cherry fruits, with smoked earth, black tea, tomato leaf and pomegranate combintation. Speaks of the cooler conditions of the year with a supple ease, and it will be enjoyable for medium term drinking. Owned by the Vayron family, harvest September 27 to October 4, gravel and clay soils.

The 2021 Bourgneuf is a delicate, charming Pomerol. Crushed flowers, spice, red berry fruit and orange peel are all nicely lifted. This is an especially perfumed, mid-weight vintage for Bourgneuf, a wine that has been bigger in the recent past.

Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2026-2041 27 February 2024

The 2021 Bourgneuf has one of the better sets of aromatics on the nose, with a sense of brightness, éclat: black cherries intermixed with blueberry, violet and shavings of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and fine depth, quite peppery in style with ample weight and delineation on the finish. Conspicuously spicy on the aftertaste, this is a Pomerol that I would like to have in my cellar.

Very fine tannins with plum, currant and berry character. Medium body. Integrated and polished texture. Fine finish.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022

Aromas of sweet cherries, plums, petals and warm spices introduce the 2021 Bourgneuf, a medium to full-bodied, supple and charming wine built around lively acids and fine, powdery tannins.

Score: 88 - 90

The deep purple-hued 2021 Château Bourgneuf should be outstanding, and I love its purity of fruit. Assorted red and black fruits, cedar, tobacco, iron, and leafy herbs give way to a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, concentrated Pomerol that's going to shine for 15 years or more. It shows the style of the vintage in its almost mid-weight, pretty, floral style, yet this is rock-solid.

Score: 90 - 92
