Chateau Bourgneuf 2019

- 90+ Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, William Kelley: „A little shy out of the gates, the 2019 Bourgneuf offers up rich aromas of dark berry fruit, asphalt, loamy soil and new oak. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and lively, with powdery tannins and good length on the finish, it will require a bit of patience.“

- 93 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: „Barrel Sample. A refined while dense wine, this has bold tannins and rich black currant fruit that are packed into a velvet texture. It's dark and rich while elegantly balanced.“

- 93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2019 Bourgneuf is another gorgeous wine from the Vayron family. Classy and polished from the very first taste, Bourgneuf has all the creaminess and texture it did en primeur, but with a bit more energy and tension backing it all up. In recent years, Bourgneuf seems to hve

- 93 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: „The 2019 Bourgneuf has a lovely, winesome bouquet of beautifully defined raspberry and black currant aromas plus hints of underneath, black truffle and sage, all well very detailed. The medium-bodied palate is quite structured and grippy yat hast he acidity to maintain tension from start to finish, and there’s plenty of sapied red  fruit here. A superb Pomerol that should give 20+ years of drinking pleasure.“

- 92 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Feines schwarzes Waldbeerkonfit, zart nach Lakritze und Cassis, kandierte Orangenzesten sind unterlegt, tabakige Nuancen. Mittlerer Körper, frische Herzkirschen, elegant und harmonisch, feine Tannine, extraktsüß im Abgang, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter.“

- 95 Punkte DECANTER, Georgina Hindle: „Excellent clarity and linearity here, this is direct and precise with a focus all the way through. A core of cool, fresh and mint-licked red fruit is joined by coffee bean and liquorice touches, going from start to finish gliding across the palate supported by firm but well-integrated tannins. Tense, hefty and complex, but also completely captivating. Drinking Window 2027 – 2045“

- 16,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON: „85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc.
Quite shy aromatically but full and round with lots of gushing fruit so you almost forget the solid tannic frame behind. Very Pomerol and will age. As near as you’ll get to GV in this AC.“

- 94 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „Lots of black raspberry, mulberry, and black cherry fruits as well as cedar and floral notes emerge from the 2019 Château Bourgneuf, a medium to full-bodied, wonderfully pure, balanced Pomerol. I love its tannins, and it shows the pure, balanced style of 2019 in Pomerol perfectly. It will benefit from just 2-3 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly for 15-20 years. It's another outstanding wine from this château.“

- 93 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Rich nose of blueberries, dark plums, walnuts and chili chocolate. It’s full-bodied with firm, plush tannins. Compact, rich and dense. Powerful Pomerol. Try in 2026.“
