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
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.
Vendanges

Dégustation
Pale yellow colour with green highlights.
Intense on the nose with delicious aromas of yellow and exotic fruits, accompanied by subtle hints of citrus. Barrel ageing adds delicious notes of gingerbread.
The attack is full and silky, with a lovely freshness in the middle of the palate that lingers through the finish. This L de La Louvière is a fresh wine with good length.
