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.

Merlot : 70%
Cabernet sauvignon : 30%

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.

A brilliant cherry-red colour with silver highlights.
The nose is dominated by delicious aromas of red fruit (cherry, strawberry). These are complemented by hints of wood, vanilla and spice, adding a pleasant lift to the whole.
Subtly oaky attack. Plenty of roundness on the mid-palate. Notes of vanilla accompany the tasting. Freshness is also present.
