Wine for sale: Château Bourgneuf

Château Bourgneuf

Pomerol is famous all over the world for its exceptional terroir, but is in fact a very small appellation (800 hectares). The diverse mixture of gravel and smooth pebbles, brought by rivers from the Massif Central, is reflected in the complexity of the wines. Despite varied terroirs (there are four main areas: sand towards Libourne; gravel mixed with sand and clay towards Saint Emilion, gravel and clay in the centre, and finer gravel to the north) the wines of Pomerol are generally harmonious in their structure. Pomerols have the unusual advantage of being able to be drunk young while at the same time having a great capacity to improve with age.
