{"product_id":"chateau-bourgneuf-2016","title":"Château Bourgneuf 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Bourgneuf is a Merlot-led Pomerol grown on the plateau at the heart of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePomerol has no classification of its own, few grand châteaux and a reputation built entirely on the standing of individual growers. Its plateau is a mix of gravel and clay over a seam of iron-rich subsoil known locally as crasse de fer, and Merlot suits that ground better than anywhere else in Bordeaux, usually with a little Cabernet Franc alongside for structure. Bourgneuf has been in the hands of the Vayron family since the nineteenth century and is often listed under the fuller name Château Bourgneuf-Vayron. The holding is modest in size and is farmed and vinified by the family themselves, with maturation in French oak barrels, a part of them new, before bottling at the property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMerlot-led Pomerol is generally approachable earlier than Left Bank claret; serve with duck, veal or mushroom dishes after a short decant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
