Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it transcends the vintage boasting a black/purple color along with sweet black raspberry and blueberry fruit notes intermixed with spring flowers, incense, new oak and lavender. Rich and intensely concentrated, this beauty should drink well for a decade or more.
Barrel Sample: 91-93 Points -
James Suckling
Blueberry, blackberry and minerals. Full body, with a wonderful density of fruit. Pretty length too. Impressive for the vintage. Better than 2011. 92-93 Points
An exceptional geographical situation for a top quality vineyard, located in the heart of the Right Bank close to the borders of the famous Plateau of Pomerol and not far from Saint Emilion.
The La Fleur de Boüard vineyard combines the magic of land, vines and sky.
Managed by a man of great viticultural tradition, whose family have carefully fine-tuned their viticultural thinking and savoir-faire generations, an exciting new future now awaits this vineyard. Hubert de Boüard de Laforest is the co-owner of Chateau Angélus, a First Great Classified Growth of Saint Emilion, where he has managed the estate and made the wine for 20 years. He graduated as an oenologist at Bordeaux University.
Together with his wife, Corinne, they work passionately towards one single aim: to make an outstanding wine at La Fleur de Boüard.
