此酒只採用生於黏土和礫石上的老藤Merlot，產量不多，每公頃只有 15 至 29 hL。但味道更濃郁和集中，生動地展現出老藤頑強的生命力。
經過長時間陳年，質感幼滑，有完美的平衡和可愛的新鮮度。口感豐富，擁有複雜的香氣和脫俗出塵的典雅感覺。

品酒筆記：
(2010)
這款酒提高了味道、力量、密度、豐富度和單寧，所以需要三四年的窖藏時間，並且可以陳年長達20年(...) 它既美麗，又把潛能發揮到極致，很難令人相信是來自一個較少人關注的產區Lalande de Pomerol。
(2011)
2011年的La Fleur de Bouard混合了85%的Merlot和Cabernet Franc，以及丁點Cabernet Sauvignon，酒精度達13.7%。濃郁而深沉的紅寶石/紫色，散發藍莓、朱古力和濃縮咖啡的香氣。酒體飽滿，酸度活潑，感覺純淨，回味悠長。
(2014)
La Fleur de Bouard目前比較拘謹和內斂。(記於2015年)口感飽滿、濃厚；單寧厚實有嚼勁，風格剛勁，但稍為缺乏持久性。
Made from the oldest vines growing in ground made up of large stones lying on top of clay, Le Plus de La Fleur de Boüard expresses the full character of the property’s old Merlot grapes which are the only variety to be used. These very old vines obviously have very low yields of 15 to 29 hectolitres per hectare.
The wine is aged for a very long time: 33 months in barrels including 18 months on fine lees. The resulting wine is smooth and elegant. It has perfect balance and lovely freshness. This lush, mouth-filling wine reveals a wide range of aromas and outstanding elegance.

Tasting Notes:
(2010)
This wine ratchets up the level of extract, power, density and richness as well as tannin, so it needs 3-4 years of cellaring and can keep, I would assume, for up to two decades (...)This is a beauty, a full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal Lalande de Pomerol that is impossible to believe comes from a less heralded appellation.
(2011)
The 2011 La Fleur de Bouard, a blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and a tiny bit of Cabernet Sauvignon, averaged 13.7% natural alcohol. A powerful, rich, dense ruby/purple-colored effort, it offers blueberry, chocolate and espresso notes, full body, good acidity, and excellent purity and length.
(2014)
The Le Plus de Bouard 2014 is stoic and introverted at the moment. The palate is full-bodied and dense with thick, chewy tannin, sinewy in style, but missing persistence on the finish. (Issued in 2015)
