Le Benjamin de Beauregard - Pomerol 2022

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.

The Second Wine of Château Beauregard, Benjamin de Beauregard, is made from a strict selection of plots on sandier soils. It benefits from the same high-performing vinification facilities as the First Wine; however, the winemaking is carefully adapted to include moderate extraction and short vatting periods. The ageing process is shorter and is carried out in no more than 30% new oak. Benjamin de Beauregard is made to be enjoyed at 3 to 10 years of age. 2015 was a stong vintage, so it’s a gift that this bottle is ready to be enjoyed.

"The 2022 Benjamin de Beauregard emerges from the lighter soils on the property, those where gravelly/sandy soils dominate. Pretty floral notes and bright fruit are front and center. This delicate, vibrant Pomerol is quite the charmer. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc" - 91 Points, Vinous
