Stylish, with a mocha hint out front followed quickly by steeped cherry and plum fruit flavors. Nice licorice coating on the velvety finish. A bit reliant on its toast, but will certainly have fans. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2025. 10,833 cases made.

Château la Fleur de Boüard is a winery on Bordeaux's Right Bank in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation. It makes several Merlot-dominant cuvées and is known for its unique state-of-the-art winery.
The estate is owned by Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, who purchased the 25-hectare (62-acre) property in 1998. The Laforest family owns a handful of Bordeaux estates, the best known of which are in Saint-Émilion and include the Premier Grand Cru Classé A winery Château Angélus.
The second wine was previously called La Fleur Saint Georges after the name of the property before it was bought by de Boüard, however it has since been relabeled as Le Lion de la Fleur Boüard. The winery also makes a third wine called Le Plus de La Fleur de Boüard. The inaugural 2000 vintage debuted with a 99 point score from critic Robert Parker.
