Château La FLEUR de BOÜARD
Red
- 2017
- Lalande de Pomerol
Applying the same principles of cultivation and vinification as in Angelus, Hubert de Boüard brought his Château de Lalande de Pomerol to the top of his appellation. Rich and luxuriously aged wines, of incredible charm, with each vintage praised by critics.
Noting the extent of the damage (95%) caused by the frost at the end of April 2017 in La Fleur de Boüard, Hubert de Boüard and his daughter Coralie did not give up and decided to pamper the few remaining grapes.
100% Merlot, deep, fleshy, sweet and distinguished, caressing in the middle palate and concluding with a slender and more energetic finish, their superb 2017 is an astonishing success, surely made possible by the tiny harvest (20 hl produced on 40 ha of vines, a tiny yield of 0.5 hl/ha, just one hundredth of a normal harvest!).
And, killing two birds with one stone, they took the opportunity to celebrate their 20th year at La Fleur de Boüard by putting their 2017 only in 1000 numbered magnums specially decorated by the artist Petrusse Reynen.

After La Fleur de Boüard en Lalande by Pomerol, Hubert de Boüard and his daughter Coralie embarked on a new project in Montagne-Saint-Émilion, called Clos de Boüard. Their first vintage 2016 is already a success, gourmet, fleshy, and devilishly seductive (85% Merlot).
Rated 92/100 by Neal Martin after bottling « The 2017 Clos de Boüard offers attractive blackberry, briary and light tobacco scents on the nose that feels nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a superb line of acidity. This feels very cohesive, velvety smooth in texture with subtle tarry, graphite notes on the finish. » (February 2020)

Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin (quarin.com) "The palate is remarkable for its full, fleshy body, its slow development in the middle palate that glides with great brilliance through the taste, its sappy, unangled finish. Delicious."
Rated 92/100 by Bettane + Desseauve (2019 Guide) "Better a very good terroir on Montagne than a sandy Saint-Emilion", these are the words with which Coralie de Boüard welcomes you to this Musset terroir that looks out over Fombrauge and Troplong, the most famous neighbouring crus. From the first vintage [2016], the wine opens up beautiful prospects with a velvety, deep tannin that stretches out brilliantly. The profile of the vintage respects the year with a zest of aniseed on the finish that brings everything back to life. In the concert of satellites, this Clos should be counted on from now on."
