Château Beauregard 2016 Pomerol

粘土砂利のテロワールが生む、絹の質感。

南東の粘土砂利質テロワールから生まれた、メルロ75%主体のポムロール。深みのあるガーネット色のグラスから、熟したブラックチェリーやカシスに、バニラやモカ、スミレ、微かなトリュフとスパイスが重なります。凝縮感のある果実味ときめ細やかなタンニンがしっとりとしたテクスチャーを描き、豊かなミネラルと酸が骨格を支えます。余韻にはダークチョコレートやシガーボックス。牛フィレのトリュフソースとともに。

Tasting note

Deep garnet color. The aroma that rises from the glass is a blend of ripe black cherry and cassis with vanilla, mocha, violet, and subtle hints of truffle and spice, giving it the depth that is characteristic of Pomerol. In the mouth, the concentrated fruitiness and fine tannins blend together to create a moist texture. Rich minerals and acidity provide structure, while the long finish offers nuances of dark chocolate and cigar box. It can be enjoyed young, but has the potential to develop even greater complexity and elegance with age.

Food pairing

Roasted beef fillet with truffle sauce, roasted duck breast with foie gras and potato gratin, and herb-crusted lamb rack with ratatouille

Winemaking & technical data

harvest
Hand-picked by plot (September 28th to October 14th, 2016)
We use new equipment introduced in 2015 (two manual sorting tables, a high-frequency destemmer, and an optical sorting line).

brewing
It is brought in in small 3 hl buckets to the gravity-fed fermentation room.
Each section was poured into 22 newly constructed truncated conical concrete tanks.
Alcoholic fermentation is controlled at 26-30°C depending on the lot's potential and extraction target, and the fermentation period is 3-5 weeks in total.
The best lots of Merlot and Cabernet Franc underwent malolactic fermentation in new barrels.

Aging
60% of the first wine is aged for 18 months in new barrels (from seven different barrel manufacturers).
