Clos Beauregard
WINERY OVERVIEW
Clos Beauregard is a 15-acre (6-hectare) plot that runs across the lower stretches of Château
Beauregard, to which it was attached up until 1935 when the parcel was sold to Antoine
Moueix. The property had been managed by Antoine’s grandson Jean-Michel until it was
recently purchased by Crus et Domaines de France, backed by the enological expertise of
Michel Rolland.
LOCATION OF VINEYARD
Bordered on the north by the Barbanne Creek, to the east by the village of Saint-Émilion
and to the south and west by the town of Libourne, Pomerol is the smallest of all Bordeaux
appellations, yet it commands global recognition. Clos Beauregard is situated in the commune
of Toulifant, about two-thirds of a mile (1km) south of Château Beauregard. The vineyard is
planted with 93% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc with an average
vine age of 40 years. The terroir is a mix of sand and clay soil.
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
The Merlot of the Pomerol region is famed for producing some of the most plush and velvety-
textured wines in the world, and this wine provides a true expression of the Pomerol terroir
at an unrivaled value. 100% hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks, the wine is
then transferred to a mix of new and 1 year old barrels for 12 months before bottling.
