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.

Dégustation
Ruby-red colour scattered with raspberry highlights.
The nose is very expressive, revealing delicious notes of red fruit (cherry, strawberry), interspersed with mineral aromas (graphite), as a result of barrel ageing.
Starts out incredibly smooth, becoming rich and full-bodied mid-palate, with plenty of soft tannins. Well-balanced with great finesse and elegance, accompanied by red fruit notes (cherry) and culminating in a lovely long finish.
