Close to the confluence of the Dordogne and Isle rivers, the fertile soils of Château La Fleur de Boüard benefit from a sunny, warm and humid climate, ideal for growing vines. This mild climate favors early flowering. This is why the name “La Fleur” is so frequently used in the appellation.

FOUNDING INTUITION

Château La Fleur de Boüard was born when Hubert de Boüard, co-owner of the famous Château Angélus, fell for this terroir located on the hillside facing the finest Pomerol growths.Driven by the deep conviction that the terroirs of Lalande-de-Pomerol could produce exceptional wines worthy of the greatest Bordeaux appellations, he acquired the 25-hectare vineyard in 1998, now extended to 29 hectares. By adopting a precise and virtuous approach, the Fleur de Boüard team crafts wines of exceptional finesse.

BLOSSOMING OF THE VINEYARD

Every flower draws its strength from the earth that nourishes its roots. The great diversity of the vineyard’s soils gives this terroir a generous nature that is favourable for the estate’s mix of grape varieties, mostly Merlot, which are vinified plot by plot to refine their balance. Here there are gravel and clay subsoils. A high-quality soil, with an ideal composition for the vine. Hubert de Boüard, supported by his Technical Director Bryan Dessaint, employs all his know-how to ensure that this early-blossoming flower becomes a vibrant, fleshy fruit.

Through the continuous training of his teams, Hubert de Boüard, heir to the great founders of French oenology, passes on viticultural practices that combine tradition and modernity, but are always based on respect for the living world.
