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.

Tasting
2015 Lions de La Louvière has a lovely, deep, and brilliant garnet-red colour.
Very typical of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, it features an extremely pleasant bouquet with subtle hints of red fruit (redcurrant), blackcurrant, and tobacco.
Rich, satisfying, and well-balanced, this wine will undoubtedly delight everyone who appreciates the best wines of Pessac-Léognan. The red and black fruit aromas on the nose carry over to the palate, and there is a beautiful long aftertaste.
