Howing has become contagious now. Opened 2012 La fleur de Bouard...Ahhh the smell of bursting sweet cherries...

Ah, my subjects, I am so proud of all of you. It brings a tear to the eye of your beloved and benevolent dictator.
I love the 2012 La Fleur de Bouard, I've had a couple of 750s and about a half dozen 350s.

Round, fleshy and balanced... Hmmm. Medium bodied showing a bit of oak, sweet spice and cherries on the palate...

if you like that style of wine from the AOC, keep an eye out for de Chambrun. smaller production, but even bigger framed.
