Château Beauregard

The property was founded in 1677 by Bernard Beauregard, though it only became a full-scale wine producer in the 1800s. Beauregard is situated at the entrance to the appellation and covers an area of 17.5 hectares (43 acres), making it one of the largest Pomerol estates. Its grape composition is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. The vines have reached an average grand old age of 35 years, while every new plantation is planted at the very high density of 9,200 vines per hectare. 

Deep, dark ruby-red, is not opaque. Rich deep earthy aromas on the nose overlay lifted black-cherry fruit & vanilla oak. Very ripe, dark fruit on the palate is chocolatey & has earthy aromas. The wine has velvety-smooth tannins. Alcohol is balanced to warming, just adding a little generosity to the finish. The finish is pure and rounded. This is a nice rich, ripe, chocolatey, modern-style wine.
