Château la Fleur de Boüard – Lalande de Pomerol – Red – 2016:

 

The Right Bank Masterpiece: A Hubert de Boüard Signature

Château La Fleur de Boüard stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of Hubert de Boüard de Laforest (co-owner of Château Angélus). Located in the esteemed Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, this estate utilizes a state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery to craft a wine that consistently rivals its more famous neighbors, offering exceptional quality and value.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Deep, dark, and intense ruby, indicating rich concentration.
• Nose: A generous bouquet of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, dark plum) complemented by sophisticated notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cedar, and sweet baking spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, yet beautifully balanced. The Merlot dominance provides a lush, mouth-filling core, while the fine, silky tannins (often described as ‘cocoa-powder’ texture) lead to a long, polished, and powerful finish.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This is a wine built for the table. Decant for an hour if enjoying young. Serve at 60-64°F (15-18°C). Its structure allows for immediate enjoyment but promises graceful evolution over the next 10-15 years.
