Château La Fleur de Boüard 2014

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

Ripe red-berry nose with a hint of chocolate. Juicy, round and smooth palate. Tannins slightly grainy. Firm finish.

The licorice and herbal notes really add something to this wine, which is simultaneously rich and dry; good length, too.

Notes of black raspberry, licorice and espresso bean create the fragrance. This wine is soft, polished and expressive, leaving you with a dose of black cherry and thyme. Top value for a Bordeaux wine. 88-90 Pts

Dark garnet, fairly dense at the core, ruby rim. The bouquet is appealing, showing red fruit, wild berries, and a lovely Merlot spice. On the palate, juicy and elegant, with plenty of gastronomic fun factor.

(85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon) Velvety, opulent, sweet, powerful bouquet, black blackberries, chocolate, tobacco, graphite. Dense, creamy, finely opulent palate with sweet fruit, subtly generous structure, powerful aromatics, plenty of fine tannins, long, sweet finish with good afterflavors. 17/20 2020 - 2034

Very lovely wine in 2014 with pleasing concentration, maintaining a very enjoyable balance and a pleasant freshness from the Merlot.

A charming, silky, well-structured wine. 85% merlot, 12% cabernet franc, 3% cabernet sauvignon.

Garnet red with purple highlights. A complex, fruity bouquet recalling notes of cherries and raspberries. I also detect a hint of liquorice. A gourmand, fruit-forward attack. The wine is chiselled, precise, and endowed with silky tannins. The structure provides support and brings out the fruit.

Dark, intense color. Moderately aromatic nose, with fruit and truffle notes. A silky, airy, juicy palate that is ultimately delicious, with brightness in the finish. Long and very good.
