Beauregard Mirouze, an exceptional terroir

Chateau Beauregard Mirouze has been in the family since 1881. This Domaine of 350ha is situated on the hillside north of the massif de Fontfroide. There is one plot of 50ha surrounded by 300 ha of garrigue and pines.

It has its own microclimate, ideal for ripening the grapes.

The area north of the massif de Fontfroide is cold and dry. The Cistercian monks were not wrong when they named their famous abbey Fontfroide. The vines are influenced by the Tramontane, an often violent wind, always cold and dry. This weather system ensures a progressive development of the grapes which take their time to mature.

The soil made up of sandstone and slightly acidic with elements of clay is deep but not very fertile. It drains well naturally. For the vine to reach the nutrients in the soil the roots grow deep into the heart of this terroir. This acidic soil combines sugar, polyhenons and acides which give balance to the grapes and produce wines of quality, grands crus.

Vinification and Method

The grapes on these our best vineyards of Syrah (70%) and Grenache (30%) are picked whole and worked daily during the period of fermentation. Maceration takes place over several weeks. And only by tasting will this process be interrupted when the wine is put into French oak vats.

Taste:

A Corbiere of character. Robe is deep red with violet nuances. The bouquet makes one think of cinnamon, pepper and raspberries. Vanilla flavours subtly enhance an ample and harmonious flvour with rosemary present in the final flourish.

A wine to accompany red grilled meat, roasts, sauces and flavoursome cheeses.

This wine its personality already well established can be best appreciated if left for 5 to 10 years.
