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
2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.

Dégustation
Limpid, colour is golden yellow, quite pale, with some silver reflections.
The nose, fine and elegant, very sauvignon, reveals mineral notes, associated with aromas of citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon zest), and white flowers (acacia)...
A frank attack with freshness. A gourmet palate, with fatness and balance. Citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit) bring a pleasant freshness throughout the tasting. Nice finish.
