Château Bourgneuf 2021 is a medium-to-full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from 40+ year-old vines planted on iron-rich soils in the best vineyard sites in Pomerol, this is a broad, structured claret with layers of spiced dark berry fruit on a creamily rich palate, with lively acidity providing lift. A Pomerol that will reward cellaring for five to 10 years. "The 2021 Bourgneuf was picked September 27 to October 4. It has an attractive nose with bright black cherry and wild strawberry fruit and fine mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit laced with tobacco and thyme, building nicely toward a cohesive, sappy finish. The 2021 continues a fine run for this Pomerol estate." Vinous, 2022
