Description

Chteau la Fleur de Board is a winery on Bordeaux’s Right Bank in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation. It makes several Merlot-dominant cuves and is known for its unique state-of-the-art winery.The estate is owned by Hubert de Board de Laforest, who purchased the 25-hectare (62-acre) property in 1998. The Laforest family owns a handful of Bordeaux estates, the best known of which are in Saint-milion and include the Premier Grand Cru Class A winery Chteau Anglus.The vineyard is planted roughly to 80 percent Merlot, 15 percent Cabernet Franc and 5 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and the blend of the La Fleur de Board grand vin reflects a similar ratio. The second wine was previously called La Fleur Saint Georges after the name of the property before it was bought by de Board, however it has since been relabeled as Le Lion de la Fleur Board. The winery also makes a third wine called Le Plus de La Fleur de Board. The inaugural 2000 vintage debuted with a 99 point score from critic Robert Parker.
