Beauregard 2015 (750ML)

98 DE / 95 JS / 94 DE / 93 WA / 93 AG

Platinum Award - Best in Show: Decanter World Wine Awards 2018

Deep black-red in colour, with head-turning aromas of ripe plum and sweet damson qualified by a subtle calfskin and vellum allure: the classic, quasi-visceral appeal of great Pomerol. Dense and detaining on the palate, the plum juices darkened by plum-skin density, grip and richness. A finely crafted Pomerol with a great future ahead of it, yet almost irrestistable now. 2019-2030. - Decanter

Impressive and deep-set plums, cherries and violets, not to mention licorice and lightly spicy oak-derived accents, meet with mocha on the nose. The palate has a really impressive core of fleshy, bright red-plum and blueberry flavors all wrapped in supple tannins that have freshness and effortless depth. Try from 2022. -  James Suckling

This wine has one of the highest levels of Cabernet Franc in Pomerol, planted at 9,000 vines/ha. It's wonderfully rich and dense, with great texture and real Pomerol plush succulence. You can see a big jump up in quality here, and it was picked two weeks later than in 2014. 60% new oak, 35hl/ha yield. - Decanter

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Beauregard has a lovely fragrant, earth-inspired nose with a core of black raspberries, warm mulberries and plum preserves plus touches of garrigue and violets. Medium-bodied, soft and beautifully elegant with amazing freshness and energy, it finishes long and minerally. - Lisa Perroti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The 2015 Beauregard has turned out better than I had originally expected. Today, I see a wine of notable textural richness and far better balance than en primeur. Most, if not all, of that can be attributed to the work the winemaking team did in tweaking the blend. Sumptuous and racy to the core, the 2015 is gorgeous today. The more floral/savory element of the Franc that was so evident during aging has softened considerably. This is an impressive debut for the first vintage under the management of the Cathiard family. Black cherry, chocolate, new leather and spice notes add to the wine's succulent, inviting personality. Tasted three times. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
