Historia

In the heart of the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Château Bourgneuf is spread over 9 hectares in one unique holding. Bourgneuf has belonged to the Vayron family since 1840. Eight generations have succeeded each other, transmitting their love for this land and its history.

 

Xavier and Dominique Vayron

“We have had the privilege to have inherited Château Bourgneuf in the 70’s, a veritable jewel in the heart of Pomerol, and have become the transmitters of a unique place and its history. 
This spot has left its mark on us during 40 years of our careful attention, vigilance and care so as “to give birth to a juice that is the most pure and most powerful” from this earth that is labored and loved. 
To seek this wine, that is the profound expression of the meeting between the soil and the personality, is to seek creation.”

 

 

Frédérique Vayron

“2012 is the fifth vintage that I have crafted within our family property Château Bourgneuf. 
My parents and I work together with a sense of quality and respect for the identity of this exceptional place in mind. 
Our collaboration is a permanent and evolving exchange between their experience and my personal and contemporary approach to the winemaking trade.”

Viiniviljelykset

The vineyard is made up of three major soil types : on the upper portion of the vineyard, the pure clay produces grapes that are very rich, dense, and with great phenolic qualities ; on the intermediate portion, descending the slope the soils go from clayey-sand to sandy-clay, producing grapes that are complex, delicate and elegant ; on the lower portion the soils are very gravelly, of magnificent quality and very propitious for the crafting of a grape with strong oenological potential.



This association of gravel on clay and pure clay confers upon our wines their complexity, finesse and strength. The planted grape variety proportions at Bourgneuf consist of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. On the soils of Pomerol, the Merlot finds the perfect conditions for its fullest expression.

Viinivalmistus

The entire green harvesting is undertaken by hand, which permits us to respond to the specific climatic conditions and the particularities of each vintage. 
The harvesting is all hand -picked and on a by-parcel basis, finished at the optimal maturity date so as to preserve the brilliance of the fruit. After a careful sorting selection at reception the grapes are then lightly crushed.

 

The vinification is then undertaken in temperature controlled, cement vats. 
The alcoholic fermentation is progressively conducted with manual pumping over for an extraction that is tapered to the vintage, which conserves the fruity, fresh and concentrated Merlots. 
The barrel-ageing in French oak (35% new, 65% of one and two-wine barrels) is spread over a period of 12 to 14 months.
