Chateau de Beauregard Bordeaux Black Label
Chateau Beauregard from the Ducourt family has been one of our favourite and most consistent Bordeaux producers. We now have a modest allocation of their 'Black Label' Chateau Beauregard.
To compare the two, the Black label is produced in smaller quantities (about 20% the volume of the red label), more oak influence including a surprising portion of American Oak (Bordeaux is traditionally made with exclusively French oak). It's also younger oak with a portion of new barrels. It is a 50-50 split of Cabernet and Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon harvested from the loamy clay soils of the 'Entre Deux Mers' sub-region of Bordeaux, warm fermented in steel before aging in barrel.
Obvious influence of the increased oak on the nose, with punchy aromas of vanilla, toffee, and black fruits. Quite a juicy style on the palate, lots of dark fruit & the oak influence clear here too, with polished yet somewhat astringent tannins.
