Menus evolve with the seasons and harvests, showcasing fresh and local products carefully selected from regional producers.
Traditional pâté of Gascon black pork, bone marrow, oysters from Cap Ferret, vegetables from the local garden – each ingredient is chosen for its quality and its connection to the Bordeaux terroir.
Traditional cuisine is enhanced with a bistronomic touch: apparent simplicity, yet refined flavors.
You might start with a South-West salad made with seasonal vegetables, continue with salmon gravlax or tender pork axoa, and end on a sweet note with a house-made dessert.
Land and sea products sit side by side on the menu – it’s not uncommon to find, depending on availability, a fish from the Atlantic or a few oysters, delighting seafood lovers even in the heart of the vineyard.
The house’s goal is clear: to work “from glass to plate” in harmony with the wine, and to promote the region and the flavors of our neighboring terroirs.
Meals are, of course, accompanied by the château’s finest wines.
Les Chais de la Fleur also serve as a friendly wine bar, perfect for enjoying a glass of Lalande-de-Pomerol in its birthplace.
The on-site cellar offers the full range of La Fleur de Boüard wines – including exceptional cuvées – available by the glass, by the bottle, or for purchase directly at the estate.
Food and wine pairings are at the heart of the experience: the estate’s sommelier will guide you, whether you’re pairing a velvety red with a local meat dish, or a fresh Sauvignon blanc with a fish.
This restaurant-cellar concept offers full immersion in wine tourism: after your meal, why not extend the experience with a visit to the château’s cellars or a stroll among the vineyard rows?
