AOC Pessac-Léognan
Château La Louvière's second wine, L de La Louvière, is made with the same care and attention as its older brother. This wine is immensely attractive thanks to its roundness and fruitiness. It is produced according to traditional methods with a few modern touches in a prestigious location where art reigns alongside winegrowing.

Conditions météorologiques

Dégustation
Brilliant deep, nearly garnet-red colour.
The attractive nose of red fruit (redcurrant), blackcurrant, and a hint of tobacco is very typical of Pessac-Léognan.
Rich and delicious on the palate with beautiful balance. The hints of black and red fruit carry over from the bouquet. Wonderfully long.
