The
wines of Château
de Beauregard, Mâconnais, Burgundy
I’ve not come across this Mâcon producer before, but this
is a deeply impressive line-up of whites. Directed since 1999 by Frédéric
Burrier, a lot have work has gone into the vineyards, and this seems
to be paying dividends. Some of them are available in the UK from the
Wine Society (prices in brackets).

Minerally, nutty nose is savoury and rounded. The palate is rich,
fruity and nutty with a distinctive savoury minerally character. Good
concentration. Very good+ 88/100
Château de Beauregard Saint Véran 2000
Refined, savoury nose is classy with nice lemony freshness. The
