Clos Beauregard 2019

Pomerol

Clos Beauregard 2019 is a striking example of Pomerol's ability to produce richly textured and nuanced wines. Located on the famous Right Bank of Bordeaux, Clos Beauregard is a small but historic estate that benefits from Pomerol's unique terroir, characterized by gravel and clay soils that are particularly well-suited to Merlot, which dominates the blend. The 2019 vintage combines 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine that expresses both the roundness and depth typical of Pomerol.

The 2019 growing season in Bordeaux was marked by challenging weather conditions, including a dry summer and heatwaves that stressed the vines. However, these conditions ultimately led to smaller berries with concentrated flavours, producing wines with impressive structure, ripe tannins, and vibrant acidity. Clos Beauregard's 2019 vintage reflects these characteristics, offering aromas of dark fruit, plum, and subtle floral notes, with a palate that is both powerful and elegant. This wine is an excellent representation of the quality and value that Pomerol can offer, providing a complex and age-worthy experience.
