The Alchemy Workshop

“Transformation of ordinary reality into a poetic, miraculous fiction.” That is the definition of alchemy in literature. What if it also applied to winemaking? With the help of our Cellar Master, compose a wine by blending the grape varieties from our vineyard.

After visiting the estate, create your own haute couture and high-quality cuvée of La Fleur by taking part in the blending of your personal wine.

At the end of the workshop, leave with a sample of your custom blend.

What if, for the duration of a unique experience, you became an oenologist in the heart of the Pomerol vineyard?

The Alchimie Workshop offers a true immersion into the delicate art of blending fine wines. Nestled in the refined setting of Château La Fleur de Boüard, this timeless experience allows you to step into the shoes of a flavor artisan, where intuition meets expertise.

 

Upon arrival, one of our experts will welcome you for a guided tasting. Through the discovery of several iconic cuvées from the estate, you’ll learn how to decipher aromatic subtleties, taste balances, and the richness of each grape variety.

 

Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and sometimes Malbec… each reveals a different facet, an emotion, a story. But the true heart of the experience begins afterward: it’s your turn to take the lead!

Like a cellar master, you will compose your own blend. By playing with proportions, you’ll seek the perfect harmony according to your taste: more roundness? A touch of freshness? A fruitier nose or a longer finish?

The wine you create is yours alone — a unique reflection of your palate and personality.

 

This workshop is much more than just a tasting exercise. It’s a sensory and playful adventure, an initiation into the secrets of winemaking. At the crossroads of science, emotion, and poetry, blending becomes a refined and fascinating form of expression.

 

Whether you’re a knowledgeable enthusiast or a curious beginner, this workshop will deepen your understanding of oenology while offering a moment of sharing and conviviality. Leave with your own cuvée, a signature of your visit to the estate.

The "Emile Peynaud" cathedral vat room

The "Emile Peynaud"

Named after one of the oenology pioneers, this vat room with an area of 230m2 can accommodate approximately 120 seated guests. It also allows for dancing under the illuminated vats thanks to its favorable acoustics.

 

Whether it’s organizing a wedding, a family ceremony surrounded by friends, a professional seminar, a press conference, product launch, or business meeting, this space can also extend into the barrel cellar, which can also accommodate about a hundred people. Ideal for dance parties, dinners, directly overlooking the billiard room of the Fleur House, tradition meets modernity seamlessly.

 

Convenient for combining accommodation for the newlyweds and their family, for example, with the celebration taking place in the vat room, connected to the garden and its fountain.
