First established in the 11th century by the Maltese Knights, Château Beauregard was acquired in 1991 by Foncier Vignobles, who has renovated the vineyard, vat cellar and barrel cellar.
A vast programme of replanting, soil draining and selection for Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties has enhanced the magnificent terroir of this great growth.
Crop thinning (the removal of excess grape bunches on young vines and certain old vines) has become a regular practice since 1992, as well as systematic manual leaf thinning in the foliage around the bunches.
These techniques, which are called “green work”, enable us to obtain a better ripening of the grapes, a concentration of the aromas and the tannins contained in the skins, and therefore to bring out a more stylish and complex expression of the terroir in the wine.
Built in 1795 from the plans of a student of Victor Louis, the architect of Bordeaux Grand Théâtre, the residence of Château Beauregard is alone well-worth a visit, if only for the charm and tranquillity that this magical setting provides!
Château Beauregard owns 17.5 hectares (about 43 acres) of vines, with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.
