Tasting notes
This wine has a clear, brilliant, deep color close to garnet red. Charming, with components of cocoa and sweet spice. Delicious on the palate and attractive. Round, complex, and enjoyable to drink thanks to red fruit flavors, with an aftertaste of cocoa and toasted overtones. Enjoy with osso bucco, grilled beef fillet, and lamb.
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.
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.
