Tasting notes
Unfussy and charming, very much in its drinking window, with spiced berry fruits. Soft through the mid palate.

The 2009 Beauregard has an earthy, tobacco tinged bouquet that lacks a little vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, not deep or concentrated with a slightly dry finish. I would drink this in the near future. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Rather grey crimson. Black-cherry extreme ripeness on the nose. Very sweet and round. Immediate hedonism! But not for the long term. A bit stringy on the end. (JR)
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.
