Tasting notes
The 2019 Château La Fleur De Boüard Le Plus is the flagship from this château, and it's a beauty! Deep purple-hued, with a great nose of cassis, ripe black cherries, Asian spices, and lead pencil, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a lively, elegant mouthfeel, good acidity, and a gorgeous finish. While this cuvée was richer and made in a riper, sexier style in the past, this 2019 shows the more elegant, seamless style of modern Bordeaux beautifully.

Deep in color, the wine is ripe, rich, lush and packed with espresso tinged, dark chocolate, black plums and black cherries, Rich, opulently textured, full-bodied and loaded with layers of ripe, sweet, exuberant fruits, this Pomerol look-alike wine needs a few years in the bottle to integrate all of its elements. It will be worth the wait. Drink from 2025-2038. 94 Points
The 2019 Le Plus de la Fleur de Boüard has lost none of its intensity on the nose, which delivers powerful ripe black cherry and cassis aromas. The palate is bold, maybe even brash, displaying good depth and touches of tar and cedar toward the finish, which demands attention... but I prefer its more refined sibling, the La Fleur de Boüard ( sans “Plus”).
Sweet berries and cherries with some crushed stones and cloves. Hints of tar, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied and grows on the palate with lots of berry and wet-earth character. Long and flavorful. Try after 2024.
