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.

Conditions météorologiques
2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.

Dégustation
Intense, colour is cherry red, with here and there, some garnet reflections.
Complex, the nose releases a pleasant mixture of red fruits (cherry, strawberry), candied fruits; all mixed with a hint of vanilla and a light toastiness.
A nice power on the attack. On the palate, there is a beautiful expression, with a very good balance between volume and tannic structure. Once again, we appreciate the gourmet cherry notes, already perceived on the nose, slightly spicy. Good length.
