Château Beauregard: Vineyards
Château Beauregard lies on the southern edge of the Pomerol appellation. To the west is Clos du Clocher, the little village of Catusseau and Château Nenin, to the east Château La Conseillante and further on, if you follow the road in that direction, Château L’Évangile. It is not quite the southern-most château in the appellation, as to the south and west you can certainly find some well-known Pomerol names, including Château Plince and Château Taillefer, close to Libourne, but travel south and east and almost immediately you are in St Emilion. Here lie Château La Tour Figeac, Château Figeac and Château Cheval Blanc.
The château sits directly adjacent to the road, while the vines sit either side of it and to the south, running down the slope, in much the same manner as they do at Clos du Clocher next-door (although bear in mind the wine for that property comes predominantly from plots on the plateau). There are 17.5 hectares all told, of which 16 hectares sits in this block, with another 1.5 hectares situated in a separate parcel. The closer the vines are to the château, the closer they are to the plateau of Pomerol, and hence here the soils are mostly clay and gravel.
