It is situated in the heart of Pomerol’s most prestigious terroirs, with Château Trotanoy as its neighbour. Since 2008, the wine is made by the youngest Vayron to join the family venture, Frédérique, the daughter of current owners Xavier and Dominique. Formed by a gentle, sloping plot, the west-facing vineyard enjoys ideal sun exposure, thanks to which some of its parcels were spared from the great frost of 1956. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines, of an average age of 40 years, are planted on gravelly clay enhanced by an iron-rich subsoil. The vineyard is maintained traditionally and conscientiously throughout the year. Vinification takes place in thermo-regulated concrete tanks, and the ageing is carried out in oak barrels (35% new) for 12-14 months. Situated in one of the warmest parts of Pomerol, Château Bourgneuf produces wines that are deep and dense, layered and complex, with perfectly rounded tannins. The wine’s ripe fruit aromas make it seductive when young, but a few years of cellaring are strongly rewarded.

For 80 years, they have been committed to sourcing the finest fruit grown by local farmers to produce wines that are balanced, elegant and reflect the distinctive terroirs of this renowned region. The unique quality of Pomerol lies in its geology: clay and gravel on the central plateau; and variations of gravel, sand and clay as the elevation declines. These soils are ideally suited to the Merlot grape, which offers youthful charm and approachability combined with singular longevity when grown in this terroir. This geological complexity yields rich, powerful, seductive wines that display remarkable balance and elegance. The Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix Pomerol, a blend of second wines from the Jean-Pierre Moueix family vineyards and other renowned Châteaux of the appellation, is crafted with care to express the nuances of fruit and terroir from this storied appellation. After vinification, the wine is blended and aged in the historic Quai du Priourat cellars in Libourne, benefitting from all the expertise of the Jean-Pierre Moueix technical teams. Dominated by Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc in the blend, the Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix Pomerol is a brilliant garnet red in colour. On the nose, complex and harmonious notes of raspberries and blueberries emerge from a subtle backdrop of spice and smoke.
