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.
