Château Beauregard

Producer description of "Château Beauregard"

The winery is located in the municipality of Pomerol or the area of the same name (Bordeaux). Its origins date back to the 12th century, when the Maltese Order of Knights built a residence here. It was acquired by Bonaventure Berthomieux in 1793. He had the beautiful château built. Part of the vineyards were acquired by Château Figeac in the 18th century. After several changes of ownership, the estate was bought by Crédit Foncier de France in 1991. The 17 hectares of vineyards are planted with Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). The long-lasting red wine matures for 18 to 24 months in barriques, 60% of which are new. The second wine is called "Benjamin de Beauregard". The American architect Daniel Guggenheim (1856-1930) was so impressed during a visit after the First World War that he had a 1:1 copy built on Long Island ( New York State) and named it "Mille Fleurs".
