Château-Beauregard Château Pavillon Beauregard Lalande de Pomerol 2020

This great estate in Lalande de Pomerol is owned by the Moulin and Cathiard families. Château Pavillon Beauregard has benefited from the renovations at Château Beauregard in Pomerol. It has been vinified in the same cellar in Pomerol since 2015. The Pavillon Beauregard vineyard is located at Néac, a commune adjacent to Pomerol, with the Lalande de Pomerol appellation designation and covers 12 hectares (29.6 acres) on a clay-gravel plateau containing a hardpan subsoil. The grape composition is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. 

Château Beauregard’s history dates back to the 11th century and the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, from which Beauregard’s emblematic Knights Templar cross originates. The knights were active in the Pomerol region, owned a small manor, and already farmed these lands. It was on this site, five centuries later, that the Beauregard family built the first house, which was replaced during the Napoleonic era by the present château -a magnificent Gironde chartreuse, created by a pupil of Victor Louis, the architect of Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre.

It was in the middle of the 18th century that Beauregard changed from a mixed farming estate to a vine-growing property. Decade after decade, successive owners contributed to its development and towards its rank as one of the best wines in Pomerol. In 2014, the Moulin and Cathiard families purchased Château Beauregard and set about making sweeping changes. They also acquired the historical wine estates of Château Pavillon Beauregard in Lalande de Pomerol, Château Bastor Lamontagne in Sauternes and Château Saint Robert in the Graves. At Beauregard, the classic architecture of the site has remained intact. The two centuries-old chartreuse has been totally refurbished and now includes 5 luxury bedrooms which look out over the grounds and the vineyard. A new vat cellar was created adjacent to the existing barrel cellar, which itself has been completely redesigned.
