The Second Wine of Château Beauregard, Benjamin de Beauregard, is made from a strict selection of plots on sandier soils. It benefits from the same high-performing vinification facilities as the First Wine, however, the winemaking is carefully adapted to include moderate extraction and short vatting periods. The ageing process is shorter and is carried out in no more than 30% new oak. Benjamin de Beauregard is made to be enjoyed within 3 to 10 years of age.
Château Beauregard, one of the first estates in the region to expand its vineyard in the 18th century, possesses exceptional terroir. Its position on the south-east edge of the famous Pomerol plateau enables the property to grow vines on fascinating, precious land. This mainly gravelly soil, in which clay and sand make up the other soil types, produces elegant, flavoursome, fresh and characterful Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Its vineyards stretch over 17.5 hectares where over 35 plots are grown and tended on an individual basis according to their subtle differences. The maintaining of trees and bushes on the estate attracts an auxiliary fauna which is very useful in the fight against certain vine pests. The whole of the estate is grown organically.
