Critics reviews

Inky in colour, clear spice on the first attack, this grips on tight and shows lovely slate_textured tannins, along with bilberry, black cherry, white pepper. Tannins that are very much in control, even heading towards strict at this point. Impressive, a great quality if serious Beauregard. First year with Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, on a 70ares plot of deep gravels, a tiny but important slice of this 17.5ha property. 45% new oak for ageing, with 15% aged in 500l oak caks, 36hl/h yield, which for the year was pretty good for Pomerol. Tasted twice. winemaker Guillaume Fredoux, overseen by director Vincent Priou.

The 2022 Le Prieuré is another magnificent wine from one of Saint_Émilion’s most under the radar properties. Dark blue/purplish fruit, gravel, spice, menthol and lavender are all finely delineated. As always, Le Prieuré is a wine of cool sophistication and finesse. Clean mineral notes extend the finish effortlessly. Superb.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com (April 2023)

High toned and serious on the nose, concentrated, intense, ripe and perfumed, a touch of alcohol also. Focussed and taught but with a really super juicy and appealing initial burst of flavour, herbal raspberries, creamy strawberries and some stalky bramble blackcurrant giving sweetness, spice and tension. Clean, balanced and slick, this is stylish, generous and likeable but still with a serious core. The texture is wonderful, tannins are perfectly weighted and integrated. A success. 3.75pH. Ageing 18 months, 30% new oak. Eric Boissenot consultant.

Lots of fruit and richness here, verging on jammy, with loads of ripe fruit and chocolate. Full and layered. Alcohol shows slightly. A blend of 92% merlot and 8% cabernet franc.
