Château Beauregard - Pomerol 2016

Château Beauregard has made its name over the last several decades not only through the majesty of its location but also thanks to beautifully fresh and elegant wines. The clay-gravel terroir requires very special care to enable it to express itself in the wines. The philosophy is therefore to work towards enhancing the wine’s expression in a very humble and rigorous way. This is why Château Beauregard  decided in 2009 to grow the vines organically and then vinify the grapes according to strict organic rules. This choice was supported by the new owners, who are very sensitive to environmental concerns and to consumer expectation.

Château Beauregard 2016 produced 35,000 bottles and the blend is 75% Merlot / 25% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 18 months oak barrels for 18 months, 60% new. 

"Beautiful aromas of plums, flowers, truffles, earth, and hot stones. Full-bodied, yet the very fine and polished tannins have fabulous poise and elegance. Plush. Love the finish. One of the best ever from here. Drink from 2025." - 96 points, James Suckling

"I loved the 2016 Château Beauregard, which was firing on all cylinders during my visit. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, with good acidity and a meaty nose of black fruits, truffle, bouquet garni, and earth, it’s beautifully balanced and about as classic Pomerol as it gets. Give bottles another handful of years and it will deliver the goods over the following 10-15." - 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck

"This has more concentration than the 2015, less immediately seductive but the layers are evident, and it's hard to fault the construction. Plush and sexy and full of Pomerol pleasure, but also real depth, power and spice. Lovely wine, with the juicy saline kick on the finish that you want in Beauregard. Love this, but needs time - those tannins are chewy right now." - 95 points, Decanter
