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
Colour, of a beautiful intensity, is cherry red, with some garnet reflections.
Spicy nose, revealing notes of red fruits (cherry), candied fruits, vanilla; the whole associated with a light toast.
The attack is powerful. There is a beautiful expression in the middle of the mouth, a nice balance between volume and tannic structure. We find here the tasty cherry notes perceived on the nose, slightly spicy. Good length.
