Fruits noirs, cerise, bouche élégante, fraîche, tendue, beaucoup de fruit et de finesse, des notes de menthe en provenant du cabernet franc. Relevé en finale.

The 2017 Château Beauregard, which is made with the help of Smith Haut Lafitte’s winemaker Fabien Tietgen, checks in as a 60/40 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This rounded, supple, elegant Pomerol offers up a medium-bodied, sexy personality as well as classic notes of ripe cherries, raspberries, flowers, and chocolate. It has ripe tannin, a layered, balanced style, and will drink nicely for a decade or more.

Nez sur la fraise épicée et la truffe, profond, ample et fin, de grande classe, vin long et salivant, avec une très belle finale.

The 2017 Beauregard is the best vintage Florence and Daniel Cathiard, along with Technical Director Fabien Tietjien, have made so far. Silky, plush and wonderfully inviting, the 2017 has quite a bit to offer. Bold Cabernet Franc notes add lift and savoriness to the bold, punchy Merlot fruit in this impeccable, harmonious Pomerol. All the elements are beautifully woven together. This is a terrific showing.

With plums and chocolate on the nose, this medium-bodied wine is headfirst, lithe, smooth and fresh. Medium-bodied and open, the focus is on its sweet red fruits, soft tannins and forward nature.

The 2017 Beauregard, whose lower reaches were hit by the frost, has a straightforward bouquet with touches of mint and fennel infusing the red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, a little bitterness towards the second half that just deprives this of the harmony it might have otherwise had. There is a fairly long finish so let’s see how this performs once in bottle.

The lower lying part of this vineyard in Pomerol received some frost. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Beauregard is medium garnet-purple colored with a nose of warm red currants and kirsch plus suggestions of potpourri and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, it is just a little lean in the mid-palate with grippy tannins leading to a firm finish.

This is an attractive, perfumed wine, with generous tannins and blackberry fruits. The acidity of the vintage is very present and contrasts with the firm structure in the background. Drink this wine from 2023.

Just next to the buildings of Clos du Clocher, this site has more gravelly soils and more Cabernet Franc planted. There's a vivacity to the wine, and a real sense that this hits the mark, with a touch of spiciness on the firm but rich palate. There is a touch of rusticity on the finish, and the tannins have not quite smoothed out, but there's still plenty to enjoy. Retasted at the UGC tasting.

Shows some serious length here with berries, chocolate and orange peel. Medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. 40% cabernet franc makes this happen. Rest merlot

A bright, floral style, with red currant and cherry fruit flavors streaking through, along with savory and incense notes. Fresh acidity makes the finish lengthy and focused.
