2024, Château Bourgneuf, POMEROL
$62.10 inc. GST
Last year EP $74.00-
Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc.
Deep purple with violet rim. Deeply spicy nose with scents of violet and Iris. Very round, juicy and with smooth tannins on the attack. Deep plums, incense (petals, rose). Liquorice and mint on the long mineral finish. Good with mushrooms, truffles, roast beef and terrine de Lapin. A very versatile wine!

The 2024 Bourgneuf continues this estate's upward trajectory, standing out for its usual depth and concentration in this vintage. Aromas of cherries, raspberries and minty cassis preface a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's rich and creamy, with broad structural shoulders and a lively, penetrating finish. Once again, the quality of Bourgneuf's 2024 underlines this estate's proximity to Trotanoy (one block actually reaches the outbuildings of Trotanoy).
92-94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.
Medium plus ruby in colour, they have definitely gone long on extraction, pushing the tannic frame so that there are spicy notes, leafy cassis bud and tight bilberry, good quality, and an estate that I always recommend. 35% new oak. Harvest 23 September to 3 October. Drink 2029-2040
