The 2016 Château Bourgneuf is a beautifully refined Pomerol from the Vayron family estate, located beside some of the appellation's most renowned vineyards. Produced predominantly from Merlot with Cabernet Franc, the outstanding 2016 vintage combines concentration with freshness, showcasing the elegance and balance for which Pomerol is celebrated. The nose opens with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with violet, truffle, tobacco and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth. Flavours of ripe dark berries, cocoa, liquorice and earthy mineral notes unfold across a long, polished finish. Careful French oak maturation adds complexity while preserving the wine's purity and sense of place, making it both approachable with decanting and suitable for extended cellaring.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for lovers of classic Pomerol with finesse and structure. Pair with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now after decanting or cellar confidently for the next 15–20 years as it continues to evolve.
