Smoke, licorice, espresso, and black plum notes come through with ease in the nose. Medium-bodied, creamy and fresh, with a supple, polished, cherry-filled finish that is already quite nice. Especially since this is only a second wine. Drink from 2023-2032.

Le Lion de La Fleur de Boüard is made from the estate's young vines by Hubert de Boüard de Laforest the co-owner of Chateau Angélus. It has been Château La Fleur de Boüard's second wine since 2011. It is gently fermented in the same way as the main wine in inverted truncated cone-shaped tanks before being vinified using gravity alone. Le Lion de La Fleur de Boüard is smooth and big, and expresses intense fruit highlighted by careful ageing for 16 months, with 15% of the wine residing in new oak barrels, which imparts elegant woody notes. It is a marvelous match with braised beef, calf's head in vinaigrette or glazed pork ribs. Made from a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
