Tasting notes
The 2014 La Fleur de Bouard has a detailed and quite intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar aromas, an attractive floral scent that emerges with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, lively and crisp in the mouth, although the finish shuts everything down a little early. Therefore, give this Lalande de Pomerol three or four years in bottle to allow those tannins to mellow and just gain the charm of the aromatics.

The 2014 La Fleur de Boüard is still in barrel, but it is shaping up to be a terrific wine. Dark, sumptuous and inviting, with soft contours, the 2014 is an excellent choice for drinking over the near and medium term. Succulent red cherry, plum, rose petal, mint and dried flowers are all pushed forward in this gloriously ripe, voluptuous Lalande-de-Pomerol. Tasted two times.
The 2014 La Fleur de Boüard is exuberant and bold. Sweet red cherries, red currant, flowers, mint and spices are laced together in a silky, racy wine built on pure texture, while the long, persistent finish is quite inviting. This is a classic de Boüard wine built on opulence. The blend is 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.
