Château Beauregard is one of the few Pomerol properties to actually have a château, a distinctive and classic 18th century building that was designed by a pupil of Victor Louis. Beauregard has had several owners and in 1991 it was acquired by Crédit Foncière, which also owns Château Bastor-Lamontagne in Sauternes.
Beauregard is located just outside the village of Catusseau, opposite Château Petit-Village. Its 17 hectares of vineyard are planted on soils rich in gravel - consequently, the wine has a higher proportion of Cabernet grapes (Cabernet Franc 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%) in its blend than most Pomerols.
The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and the wine is matured in oak casks (70% new) for 18 months. Quality at Beauregard has improved significantly since 1991 and winemaker Vincent Priou is now producing finely crafted and supremely elegant clarets.
