Tasting notes
Crystal clear with a slightly golden pale yellow color. Aromas of ripe peach, citrus fruit and passion fruit; complemented by a hint of smoke. Rich and complex on the palate with hints of lemon, gooseberry and grapefruit and oak. With a good finish, this will be the ideal companion for a seafood stew, roasted chicken or cheese.
Description
Chateau la Louviere has long been famous for its white wines. Centuries later, the white La Louvière is now among the finest dry white wines in the Graves and is a fine ambassador for the highly respected Pessac-Léognan appellation.
Estate
Château La Louvière has many fascinating facets. The sumptuous architecture of the château building dates from the late 18th century, but winegrowing here goes back more than 700 years. The first vines were planted circa 1310, although modern winemaking dates from the 17th century and was handed down by able monks from the Carthusian monastery in Bordeaux, who had acquired considerable talent as viticulturists and winemakers. The people who produce the wine in the 21st century have inherited these time-honored methods, adding just the right amount of innovation and modernity to make the utmost of the outstanding terroir.
History
ANDRÉ LURTON is the company’s founder, for almost 70 years he dedicated his life to his vines, as only a man born in a wine chateau could do. Jacques Lurton now runs the family estates; he was nominated president of the group by his family in June 2019. His vast winemaking experience around the world over 30 years, has given him inspired and creative vision which he now transmits to the Vignobles Andre Lurton.
