Medium intensity, bright fruits, lovely precision and sculpted tannins, perhaps not as exuberant as Pomerol as in some years, but this is a lovely, well-made wine with nuance and floral waves, good density through the mid palate as it curls open. Tasted twice. 91 points

The 2024 Beauregard is a very pretty wine. Lifted floral and spice top notes lead into a core of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, cloves and licorice. Medium in body, with lovely depth, Beauregard is impeccably balanced. The oak, for example, is better integrated than it has been in some years. The same is true for the tannins, which are quite silky. The 2024 is a bit light in structure, as most wines are in this vintage, but its balance is beyond reproach. Tased two times. 90-93 points

The 2024 Beauregard was cropped at 22.5 hl/ha between September 23 and October 4 and matured in 40% new oak. It has a charming bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, truffle oil and a light smoky scent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and crisp acidity. It`s a little compact toward the finish, where this may lack some complexity. But barrel age might well broaden this Pomerol out and turn it into an early-drinking Pomerol with plenty of buvabilite. 87-89 points
