A smaller production cuvée based on 100% Merlot and brought up 22 months in new barrels, the 2023 Château La Fleur De Boüard Le Plus sports a deeper ruby/purple hue as well as classy, elegant aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, mulberries, smoky oak, graphite, and violets. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, focused mouthfeel, ripe yet certainly present tannins, and a great finish. It's not going to match the all-time greats here (the 2000 is absolute heaven today), but it's a beautiful Fronsac that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for another decade or more. There are roughly 667 cases produced. Drink 2028-2038.
