AOC Pessac-Léognan
André Lurton chose this name in honour of the two impressive stone lions that watch over the entrance to Château La Louvière. The grapes come from specific plots on the estate. The wine is very attractive: elegant, round and fruity.

Conditions météorologiques
2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation
Lovely, brilliant, and very vibrant yellow colour.
The expressive bouquet displays delicate aromas of white fruit (peach, nectarine), tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), and a slight smoky note.
Attractive, beautifully round, and easy to drink on the palate, with a remarkably long aftertaste. Lemon notes contribute to a beautiful freshness, accompanied by tropical fruit nuances (pineapple) that delight the palate.
