2021 Chateau Bourgneuf - Pomerol AC

Decanter.com – 92 pts – GH: *Clear and clean in the glass, a light colour, almost translucent. Floral and fruity, notes of roses and violets with raspberries and red cherries. High acidity, salty, gripping tannins and a menthol undercurrent. Quite a pretty, delicate take on the vintage for Pomerol, really haven't pushed this, tannins are a touch grippy and grainy but this balances out to a finish with high-toned red berry fruit and lots of wet stone salty, minerality. Not super long, but very enjoyable.* - 12/2023

Falstaff Magazin – 91 pts – PM: *Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Rotbeerig, frische Kirschen, ein Hauch von Mandarinen, etwas Nougat. Mittlerer Körper, süße Zwetschken, reife Tannine, mineralisch-salziger Abgang.* - 05/2022

WeinWisser – 18/20 pts - TB: *Der Bourgneuf 2021 präsentiert sich nach der Füllung supersaftig, klar arrangiert und stoffig, mit großer, weit gefasster Struktur und grandioser Gerbstoff- Prägung. Feinkörnig, dicht und lang. Ein ausgezeichneter und klassischer Pomerol.* - 02/2024

JancisRobinson.com – 16+/20pts – JL: *85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Rich and creamy but nothing forced. Some sweetness on attack but freshness as well. Well structured with drive and persistence. Could be GV.* - 04/2022

Vinous.com – 91 pts – AG: *The 2021 Bourgneuf is a delicate, charming Pomerol. Crushed flowers, spice, red berry fruit and orange peel are all nicely lifted. This is an especially perfumed, mid-weight vintage for Bourgneuf, a wine that has been bigger in the recent past.* - 12/2023

Vinous.com – 92 pts – NM: *The 2021 Bourgneuf has one of the better sets of aromatics on the nose, with a sense of brightness, /éclat/: black cherries intermixed with blueberry, violet and shavings of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and fine depth, quite peppery in style with ample weight and delineation on the finish. Conspicuously spicy on the aftertaste, this is a Pomerol that I would like to have in my cellar.* - 11/2023

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 92 pts – JL: *Flowers, chocolate, black raspberries, strawberries. and red cherries are over the place in the perfume, as well as in the core of the medium-bodied, soft, silky, and fresh, elegant palate. The wine finishes with soft, silky, sweet, creamy, fresh red fruits. Drink from 2024-2040.* - 03/2024
