Château Bourgneuf Vayron
On a gentle slope of the Pomerol plateau in Pomerol, Château Bourgneuf (Famille Vayron) spreads over a single 9‑hectare holding, neighboring the famed Trotanoy sector. Its strength is a true soil mosaic: pure clay on the upper reaches, clay‑sand transitions mid‑slope, and notably gravelly sections lower down, each parcel contributing a different kind of density and line.
Merlot leads the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc, harvested for phenolic maturity rather than simple ripeness. Fermentation takes place in thermo‑regulated concrete vats, followed by a classic barrel élevage of 12–14 months with a measured share of new oak. An iron‑tinted subsoil (crasse de fer) adds grip and depth without needing heavy extraction.
The style reads as quintessential Pomerol: layered, textural and quietly powerful, built on family continuity and meticulous parcel work.Château Bourgneuf Vayron
