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.

Weather conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
Harvest
6 Septembrer - 11 Octobrer 2022
Tasting
Deep garnet-red colour.
The nose is delicious, with aromas of ripe black fruit mixed with a hint of spice. After aeration, the bouquet gains in amplitude.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well structured, with a lovely fat on the finish that wraps around the tannins. The tannins are still present, adding depth and guaranteeing good ageing potential. This is a generous wine that promises to evolve beautifully with time. The finish is slightly toasted.
