Château Beauregard 2019 is a red Pomerol from Bordeaux, and the estate’s long local history underpins a modern, carefully made style. The property traces its origins to the 11th century, with the current château built in 1795–97. In 2019, the blend is a classic Right Bank pairing of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, with 50% new oak and about 18 months in barrel; Jane Anson notes the “higher Cabernet Franc (up to 30% from 25%) and less time in barrel (18 months down from 20 months) than 2018.” Alcohol is reported at 14.5% ABV.
Critical reception is notably strong, with several excellent reviews clustered in the mid-90s. Decanter awards 95 points and calls it “rich and concentrated but delivered in a velvet glove,” emphasizing “freshness” and a “cooling mint, liquorice and mineral aspect from start to finish,” concluding it is “easy to recommend” (drinking window 2027–2044). Jeb Dunnuck (94) describes a “pure, elegant, seamless style” with “gorgeous tannins” and says it is “certainly one of the finest vintages I’ve tasted from this address,” projecting 15–20 years of drinking. Antonio Galloni (Vinous, 94) finds it “powerful, deep and super-expressive,” with “black cherry, mocha, espresso, licorice, dried flowers and menthol,” calling it “big, bold and delicious,” while also noting it is “more about impact than subtlety.”
James Suckling (93) highlights a “perfumed nose” and a “creamy finish,” recommending it from 2025. William Kelley (Wine Advocate, 91) frames it as a “gourmand, demonstrative Pomerol” that is “already drinking well,” and adds that this “certified-organic estate…has been replanted at higher density.” Jeff Leve (94) praises its “elegant, silky” profile and suggests it may be his “favorite vintage of Beauregard ever produced” (2024–2040). Chris Kissack (The Wine Independent, 92) notes élevage includes “a small number of amphorae,” and praises its “precision,” with “smoke, black pepper, crushed chalk and blackcurrants.”
