A purity of blackberry and blueberry fruit with flowers too. Medium- to full-bodied, this has soft and velvety tannins and a succulent finish. Fruit-forward yet the framed tannins give it tension. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. Drink after 2028.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Bordeaux: The Pinnacle of Terroir Expression In the illustrious realm of wine, Bordeaux stands as a beacon of excellence, where history, tradition, and terroir converge to create some of the world’s most iconic wines.

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir.
Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

The 2022 Bourgneuf is a potent, ample wine, just as it was en primeur. Dark fruit, lavender, menthol, cloves, licorice and espresso stain the palate. Bold and quite extravagant, the 2022 is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. This is particularly dense, but that is 2022. Bourgneuf continues to move in the right direction. The 2022 is a fine effort from the Vayron family. Tasted two times.

Coming from the southern edge of the appellation, not far from Cheval Blanc and Figeac in Saint-Emilion, the 2022 Château Bourgneuf is deep ruby/plum-hued and has a ripe, powerful style in its darker currants, chocolaty oak, and spice-driven aromas and flavors. A big, rich, layered Pomerol that fills the mouth with fruit, it has terrific overall balance, a lush, opulent style, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and will see its 20th birthday in fine form. It's a beautiful, rich, fruit-loaded beauty based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

The 2022 Bourgneuf has turned out well in bottle, offering up a rich, lavish bouquet of dark berries, berry preserve, licorice and black truffle. Medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, it's textural and enveloping, with good energy and plenty of sweet, powdery tannins. As readers will remember, this estate boasts nine hectares of holdings situated below Trotanoy, characterized by clay-rich gravels.

Alluring dark plum and warmed blackberry puree flavors cruise through, inlaid with dried anise, iris and warm earth accents. There's a flicker of smoldering savory on the finish. Stylish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040. 1,700 cases made, 150 cases imported.
