Château La Fleur De Boüard Lalande-De-Pomerol 2014

This is drinking amazingly well right now. Rich and unctuous with bright aromas of blueberry and blackcurrants, tucked under a blanket of soft, smooth vanilla. On the palate there is a touch of lighter cherry, with a velvety, mocha-like texture and a luxuriously long finish. The first glass drinks well whilst you're cooking the topside of beef of a Sunday, the second glass is even better to accompany it.

Grapes are grown in clay/loam topsoil on the plateau of Neac and a clay/ gravelly mound on the plateau of Pomerol. The twentyf ive-hectare property has a high proportion of Merlot within its vineyard and an increasing amount of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon to better reflect the unique terroir and for finesse and elegance. The vines used for this 2014 vintage have an average age of 25 years. 

Purchased in 1998 by Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, internationally renowned winemaker and co-owner of St Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé “A” Château Angélus, Château La Fleur de Boüard is located close to the village of Néac on the most sought after terroir of Lalande-de-Pomerol.
