Grapes Merlot, Cab Franc
Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
Sub-district Pomerol & Lalande de Pomerol

We really enjoyed the 2018 Beauregard. Dark fruit with hints of wood on the nose. Similar on the palate with the oak in a supporting role. Cool and focused. Medium bodied and very well balanced for the vintage. Buy this wine if you want to drink decent pomerol without spending piles. Drinking range: 2025 - 2040 L&S (Apr 2019)

The 2018 Beauregard is crisp and focused on the nose of truffle-tinged black fruit flanked by sous-bois and freshly rolled tobacco; gentle but persuasive. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite tight and slightly angular in style. It is still rustic and a little rough-hewn compared to its peers, though it has charm and I appreciate the dash of black pepper on the aftertaste.

The 2018 Beauregard is forward, supple and very easy to like. Succulent red cherry, plum, mocha, espresso and new leather all wrap around the palate. This racy, opulent Pomerol is not especially complex, but it is wonderfully open knit and inviting. The new French oak is at the limit of being overpowering, but the wine's balance is solid. This tasty Pomerol is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next 10-15 years. Drinking range: 2023 - 2035 Rating: 90 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Mar 2021)

Aromas of plums, orange peel, cedar and violets with hints of mushroom and light tar. It’s full-bodied with lots of extremely polished tannins that give the wine a very fine, velvety texture and lively, vivid length. Balanced is the word. Try after 2025.

Château Beauregard

Unusually for Pomerol, Château Beauregard has a rather fine château built in 1795 that they proudly display on the label. Rather than having a fine view – or beau regard – the estate is named after the Beauregard family who owned it in the 17th Century. Since acquisition by Vignobles-Foncier in 1991 the whole estate has been renovated, and all the Cabernet Sauvignon replaced with more suitable Merlot, and Beauregard has been set on an upward trajectory. The recent (2014) sale of the estate to the Moulin-Houzé family offers optimism for further improvement, not least because at the same time a minority share was taken by the Caithard family whose stewardship Château Smith Haut Lafitte has yielded great results. Sitting just east of the village of Catusseau, Beauregard is practically on the border with Saint Emilion and can boast Cheval Blanc as a near neighbour. The 17.5ha of vineyard are planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc with the best vines being nearer the château on the Pomerol plateau and its more typical clay soil. The average age of the vines is around 35 years.
