Description
Château La Louvière has many fascinating facets. The sumptuous architecture of the château building dates from the late 18th century, but winegrowing here goes back more than 700 years.
The first vines were planted circa 1310, although modern winemaking dates from the 17th century and was handed down by able monks from the Carthusian monastery in Bordeaux, who had acquired considerable talent as viticulturists and winemakers.
The people who
produce the wine in the 21st century have inherited these time-honoured
methods, adding just the right amount of innovation and modernity to make the
utmost of the outstanding terroir. La Louvière's red wine has a dark colour and
an elegant bouquet with delicate hints of oak...

Tasting
Appareance : Beautiful, very deep and concentrated red colour.
Nose : Intense and beautifully complex bouquet with hints of spice (white pepper, clove) and very ripe red fruit.
Mouth :
In keeping with the bouquet, the wine is beautifully balanced on the palate.
The oak is well-integrated with there are overtones of liquorice and red
fruit. The tannin is silky and displays excellent concentration. This classy,
elegant wine is delightful with veal, game, or duck.
