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.

Weather conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
Harvest
18 August - 2 September 2022
Tasting
Pale yellow colour with silvery tints.
The nose gradually opens up to reveal aromas of white fruit (peach), which need a little aeration to reveal all their subtlety.
On the palate, we find the delicate notes of peach and apricot already detected on the nose, enriched here by a gourmet touch of brioche, the signature of barrel ageing. There are also subtle floral nuances. Enjoy its pleasant freshness. As the wine warms up, hints of lemon emerge, adding to its complexity. The whole is beautifully balanced. The finish is long and persistent.

Deep gravel with fine limestone over small areas at the foot of the slopes.
