A deliciously rich and full-bodied wine with great complexity and an impressively precise quality that sets it apart from the pack. A merlot dominated blend, Bourgneuf is composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Dark ruby garnet, opaque core colour, excellent clarity and linearity, this is direct and precise with a focus all the way through. Opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. The nose reveals nuances of blackberries, black currants, wild blueberries plus hints of sweet spices, camphor and tobacco leaf. The palate delivers a great intensity of perfumed black fruits, framed by rounded tannins and plenty of freshness. Black cherry, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, tobacco leaf and sweet spices all open in the glass. Complex, juicy, sweet blackberry fruit, strong tannins, mineral in the finish, chocolatey in the reverberation this concentrated and lively full-bodied Pomerol is complex, rich and dense characterized by an immensely velvety texture. A wine of extraordinary charm and elegance which can be laid down for 20+ years.
