Le Lion de La Fleur de Bouard - Lalande-de-Pomerol | French Red Wine

The last born in the family, Le Lion de La Fleur de Boüard is made from the estate’s young vines. It has been Château La Fleur de Boüard’s second wine since 2011. It is gently fermented in the same way as the main wine in inverted truncated cone-shaped tanks before being vinified using gravity alone.

The lion symbolises the de Boüard family’s commitment to cultivate this heritage and let new value emerge from it. It is the family emblem and decorates the labels on its successful wines. With cleverly applied know-how and close monitoring of the terroir, Hubert de Boüard and his children have made a wine of very great quality, which settles this precious legacy even more lastingly.

Le Lion de La Fleur de Boüard is smooth and big, and expresses intense fruit highlighted by careful ageing for 12 months, with 15% of the wine residing in new oak barrels, which imparts elegant woody notes. It is a marvellous match with braised beef, calf’s head in vinaigrette or glazed pork ribs.
