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.”
