AOC Pessac-Léognan
André Lurton chose this name in honour of the two impressive stone lions that watch over the entrance to Château La Louvière. The grapes come from specific plots on the estate. The wine is very attractive: elegant, round and fruity.

Dégustation
Lovely pale-yellow colour, enhanced by light green highlights.
The nose is well-defined, fresh and fruity, marked by floral notes (broom flowers) and hints of white fruit (peach, nectarine).
A fairly round wine underpinned by good tension from start to finish. Tangy notes mingle with hints of oak and vanilla, contributing wonderful freshness - a real pleasure to taste.
