Jeb Dunnuck: A beautiful, elegant Lalande-de-Pomerol, the 2025 Château La Fleur De Boüard is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc and has lots of ripe black fruits, crushed stone, and graphite on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and the fresher, focused style of the vintage. It should be a smoking value."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2025 La Fleur de Bouard jumps from the glass with vibrant notes of kirsch and raspberry pie, followed by hints of rose bud tea and dried mint with a waft of fertile loam. The medium-bodied palate is soft and vibrant with a refreshing backbone and fragrant finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: The perfume is on the floral side, enticing you to delve into the wine's medium-bodied core of soft, polished, creamy cherries, plums, and cocoa filled character, leaving you with a refreshing hit of chocolate-mint in the finish. Drink from 2028-2038."

James Suckling: A fruit-forward red packed with sweet spices. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Fresh berries at the center with a firmer finish."

Jane Anson: Again well controlled tannins, but here they start to build up, sappy blueberry and raspberry fruits, intense and will take a few years to soften."

Decanter: Meditative nose, still developing. Sour fruits on the palate, dark cherries and black plums. The massive tannins contribute to astringency and bitterness, balanced by the juicy fruit core. Needs more time to find its balance."
