Château La Fleur de Boüard - Lalande-de-Pomerol - Red - 2013 :

 

Premier Claret from Lalande-de-Pomerol

Château La Fleur de Boüard is rightly considered the leading light of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation. Under the meticulous stewardship of Hubert de Boüard, this Right Bank Claret is produced with the same attention to detail as the region's most famous names. The result is a wine that delivers superb complexity and aging potential without the prohibitive price tag.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant ruby with a concentration that speaks of quality.
• Aroma: Elegant and expressive, with primary notes of crushed raspberry and wild flowers giving way to a savoury complexity of leather, cigar box, and a subtle mocha toastiness.
• Taste: Supple and full on the entry, evolving into a structured mid-palate framed by finely integrated, velvety tannins. The finish is persistent and smooth, showcasing the wine's excellent balance between fruit ripeness and Bordeaux elegance.

Food Pairing & Cellaring

A classic match for traditional British roasts and game. Serve this magnificent claret at cellar temperature (around 17°C). While delicious now, its superb structure and freshness suggest a cellaring potential of well over a decade.
