Château Beauregard (Pomerol)
Medium bodied, with a spicy, red berry and earthy profile, that is a bit on the firm, austere side of the style range for Pomerol. 5,000 Views Tasted Mar 14, 2014 |
When to Drink Chateau Beauregard, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Beauregard can be enjoyed on the young side with an hour or two of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
However, I find the wine is usually better with 4-6 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, the wine will best between 7 to 15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau Beauregard with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau Beauregard is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Beauregard is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau Beauregard is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta, and a diverse array of hard and soft cheeses..
Chateau Beauregard is a lighter, traditional style of Pomerol that focuses on red fruits and is best enjoyed in its youth. However, this could change under the direction of the new ownership.
