Hi Ozzie,
This château is not listed in the Féret ("the Bordeaux Bible") and is probably the second label of another château.
You can see what it's selling for in France: http://www.nouvelle-epicerie.fr/fr/bord ... -075l.html
Google tells us that there's another château with the same name in the Côtes de Castillon: http://www.itineraires-vignobles.fr/les ... fleur.html
It is pretty far down on the totem pole of the Bordeaux hierarchy and the vintage has a rather poor reputation.
This is probably a gulpable minor wine that is for early drinking.
But, of course, that opinion could be revised
.
All the best,
Alex R.
