Pretty aromas of peach blossom, pear, lemon curd, stones and custard. It’s medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a creamy texture. Fun. Drink or hold.

I loved the 2018 Hubert De Boüard Sauvignon Blanc. It's a juicy, lime and citrusscented effort that has lots of vibrant fruit, some building richness and brioche, bright
acidity, and a clean, juicy, dry finish.
Vinous
The 2018 Sauvignon shows the richer side of the vintage. Pineapple, yellow flowers,
mint and apricot, along with aging on the lees, brings out notable texture and
intensity. This is a decidedly opulent style of Sauvignon.
Vert de Vin
The nose is fresh, fruity and offers crunchiness. It reveals notes of crunchy/juicy peach, crunchy peat and small notes of fresh quince associated with fine touches of ripe lemon. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a mineral frame as well as finesse. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy lemon, ripe/juicy peach and small notes of crunchy/juicy pear associated with small touches of fresh litchee as well as a subtle hint of quenette. Good length.
History
An exceptional geographical situation for a top quality vineyard, located in the heart of the Right Bank close to the borders of the famous Plateau of Pomerol and not far from Saint Emilion. The La Fleur de Boüard vineyard combines the magic of land, vines and sky. Managed by a man of great viticultural tradition, whose family have carefully fine-tuned their viticultural thinking and savoir-faire generations, an exciting new future now awaits this vineyard. Hubert de Boüard de Laforest is the co-owner of Chateau Angélus, a First Great Classified Growth of Saint Emilion, where he has managed the estate and made the wine for 20 years. He graduated as an oenologist at Bordeaux University. Together with his wife, Corinne, they work passionately towards one single aim: to make an outstanding wine at La Fleur de Boüard.
