Presentation
The history of Beauregard dates back to the 12th century and to the Knights
Hospitaller of Saint John of Jerusalem, to whom we owe the famous Templar Cross,
emblem of Beauregard. Active in the Pomerol region and owners of a small manor,
they already cultivated these lands. On this site, the Beauregard family had a first
building built five centuries later, which was replaced in the Napoleonic era by the
current Château: a magnificent Girondine Charterhouse, which opens onto a terrace
with two dovecotes overlooking the moats and a very beautiful park, work of a pupil of
Victor Louis, architect of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. Another estate owned by the
Moulin and Cathiard families, Château Pavillon Beauregard has benefited from the
renovations at Château Beauregard. It has been vinified in the same vat cellar in
Pomerol since 2015. The estate, located at Néac, a commune adjacent to Pomerol,
carries the Lalande de Pomerol appellation and covers 12 hectares (29.6 acres) on a
clay-gravel plateau containing a hardpan subsoil.
