Chateau La Fleur Le Plus de La Fleur de Bouard 2010

The Château La Fleur de Boüard Le Plus de La Fleur de Boüard 2010 is a monumental, sophisticated, and deeply complex Old World red wine that stands as an legendary titan from arguably the greatest Bordeaux vintage of the century. It pours a completely opaque, ink-black purple colour with intense violet reflections, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of blackcurrant liqueur, blueberry paste, and black raspberries, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of white chocolate, espresso roast, sweet truffles, and smoky cedar wood. On the palate, this full-bodied, low-yield Merlot is remarkably smooth, juicy, and massive, coating the mouth with pure, velvety intensities of dark stone fruits, liquid minerals, and a multi-dimensional concentration that defines the legendary 2010 vintage. Crafted from the estate's oldest vines and aged meticulously for up to 33 months in 100% new French oak barrels to maximize its structural depth, its structural crunch is balanced by blocky, remarkably silky noble tannins and a racy acidity that carries into a seemingly endless, majestic finish accented by a lingering touch of anise, charcoal woodsmoke, and sweet licorice.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with ultra-premium culinary options, including slow-braised venison or wild boar, classic Boeuf en Croûte, prime cuts of grilled dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted duck breast with a rich plum reduction, and a platter of highly aged artisanal cheeses.
