Chateau Pavillon de Beauregard AOC Lalande de Pomerol, 2016

Château Pavillon de Beauregard at Néac is close to the boundary between Pomerol and Lalande de Pomerol. The vineyard covers 12 hectares on a clay gravel plateau with a hardpan subsoil. Owed by the Cathiard and Moulin families, who also own Château Beauregard in Pomerol, grapes are brought to the Pomerol winery for vinification. The 2016 vintage has aromas of sweet fruits, lavender honey and tea leaves. Predominantly Merlot, it is structured with good weight. It is medium-bodied with floral lavender flavours and a firm finish. Oak is less apparent in this wine, with a lower proportion of new oak employed.
