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.

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.

Dégustation
Clear colour, a nice golden yellow, quite pale, with silver reflections.
Nose is elegant, mineral, marked by typical notes of the Sauvignon grape variety: citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), but also white fruits (white peach), white flowers...
The attack is frank. The mouth is gourmet, well balanced, with fatness. The freshness is there, with citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit). The oak is very light and well blended. The finish is very refreshing. It is a fruity and elegant wine.
