Chateau Beauregard takes its name from the founder of the estate, Bernard Beauregard. The property was created in 1677, making it one of the older estates in the Pomerol appellation. However, it was likely that most of the estate was not used for producing any wine in those days. In fact, almost one hundred years later, less that one hecatre of vines were planted for the purpose of making wine. The original chateau, which is one of the few chateaux in the Pomerol appellation, was seriously damaged in a fire and needed to be rebuilt. That took place in 1745.

 

By 1854, Chateau Beauregard was a thriving vineyard with close to 14 hectares under vine. In 1935, Chateau Beauregard sold 5 hectares of vines to Antoine Moueix . In 1991, Chateau Beauregard passed from family ownership when it was sold to Credit Foncier Bank. In July, 2014, Chateau Beauregard was sold to a partnerhip between the Moulin Family, the owners of the large, French chain of Galerie Lafayette stores and the Cathiard Family, the owners of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte and Bastor Lamontagne in Sauternes.

 

The 17.5 hectare, Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Beauregard is located not far from Clos du Clocher and Chateau Petit Village . The terroir is a mix of sand, gravel and clay soils. The vineyard is planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc . This represents a change in the vineyard. Previously, 8% of the vineyard was planted to Cabernet Sauvignon . There was also a portion of Malbec vines planted that has been removed as well. Those vines have all been replaced. It is the goal of Chateau Beauregard to keep changing the makeup of the vineyard until they reach up to 40% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard is planted to a very high density of vines for Pomerol, with 9,250 vines per hectare. On average, the vines are close to 35 years of age.

 

To produce the wine of Chateau Beauregard, vinification takes place in 20, temperature controlled, stainless steel vats that vary in size from as small as 35 hectoliters up to 100 hectoliters. This allows for parcel by parcel vinification. Interestingly, some parcels with both grape varieties are co-fermented, while others are blended at a later date. The wine is aged in an average of 65% new, French oak barrels for between 18 to 24 months. There is a second wine, Le Benjamin de Beauregard. The production of Chateau Beauregard is close to 5,000 cases of wine per year.
