Chateau Beauregard 2016

An elegant Pomerol displaying aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, violet, truffle, and cedar. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable concentration create a refined Right Bank Bordeaux with exceptional balance and a long, graceful finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef tenderloin, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or wild mushroom risotto.

Beautiful aromas of plums, flowers, truffles, earth, and hot stones. Full-bodied, yet the very fine and polished tannins have fabulous poise and elegance. Plush. Love the finish. One of the best ever from here. Drink from 2025.

95 Points - Decanter

This has more concentration than the 2015, less immediately seductive but the layers are evident, and it's hard to fault the construction. Plush and sexy and full of Pomerol pleasure, but also real depth, power and spice. Lovely wine, with the juicy saline kick on the finish that you want in Beauregard. Love this, but needs time - those tannins are chewy right now.

I loved the 2016 Château Beauregard, which was firing on all cylinders during my visit. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, with good acidity and a meaty nose of black fruits, truffle, bouquet garni, and earth, it’s beautifully balanced and about as classic Pomerol as it gets. Give bottles another handful of years and it will deliver the goods over the following 10–15.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Beauregard is a little closed on the nose, opening to warm black plums, blackberries and mulberries with touches of chocolate box and dried herbs plus violet hints. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Structured from the start, with a light charcoal edge and a strong graphite spine supporting the core of dark plum, blueberry and açaí berry flavors. Tobacco and alder details are etched on the finish, with the fruit driving through. Slightly taciturn in style, but cellaring should lighten the mood.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

The ripe fruit is showing well in this property, which has the same winemaking team as Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Pessac-Léognan. It is a rich, spicy wine with soft tannins and acidity at the end.
