Located in the heart of Pomerol on a heritage of very old vines—adjacent to the magical Château Trotanoy—Château Bourgneuf delivers rare refinement. Its subtle aromatic profile, creamy and fresh length immediately place this cru among the appellation's finest, achieved through gentle and respectful vinification, with a preference for concrete and juice infusion.

This level of excellence, rarely attained, has been rewarded with one star in the RVF Guide. During our recent visit, we conducted a detailed review of both recent and older vintages, which have aged gracefully over time.
