Merchant's description

Château Bourgneuf is located in the midst of the Grand Crus vineyards on the western side of Pomerol and is generally exceptionally consistent in quality with good concentration and ageing potential. The 2011 is ripe and pretty with chewy tannins and hints of toasted oak. Perfect to drink now with roasted rib of beef.
