Tasting notes
Beauregard's deep ruby-colored 1996 reveals a sweet, jammy cherry-scented nose with noticeable strawberry notes. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, elegant, and moderately weighty with hints of toasty new oak. It should drink well for 6-8 years.

A pleasant wine, if a bit too much oak for the vintage. Pleasing aromas of blackberries with hints of toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with berry flavors and a big shot of vanilla oak in the aftertaste. Best after 1999. 5,500 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1999

About the producer

Named after its founder, Bernard Beauregard, this property is one of few Pomerol addresses to have an actual château – here a stately 18th-century construction designed by the man behind Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre.
