Reviews

James Suckling 93

Ripe cherry, stewed blackberry, nutmeg, cedar and black olive on the nose. It's medium-bodied with sleek, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Flavorful.

Wine Enthusiast 95

Ripe and spicy with blueberry fruits and rich tannins, this wine is just setting out on its long journey. One of the properties owned by the Lurton family in Pessac-Leognan, the wine balanced, with acidity and fruits allied to tannins.

Wine Spectator 92

Nicely packed, with a mix of red and black cherry paste, singed mesquite and red licorice notes, all carried by a lively, brambly savory-tinged finish. Lots to like here. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Wine Advocate 92

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 la Louviere leaps from the glass with notions of redcurrant jelly, fresh blackberries and warm black plums, plus nuances of dried mint, cedar chest and ground cloves. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and savory in the mouth, featuring a light touch of finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a compelling red berry lift. It's an elegant, lively expression of this vintage and one that really works!

Technical Details

Estate

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-honored methods, adding just the right amount of innovation and modernity to make the utmost of the outstanding terroir.

History

ANDRÉ LURTON is the company’s founder, for almost 70 years he dedicated his life to his vines, as only a man born in a wine chateau could do. Jacques Lurton now runs the family estates; he was nominated president of the group by his family in June 2019. His vast winemaking experience around the world over 30 years, has given him inspired and creative vision which he now transmits to the Vignobles Andre Lurton.

Tasting notes

This wine has a clear, brilliant, deep color close to garnet red. Charming, with components of cocoa and sweet spice. Delicious on the palate and attractive. Round, complex, and enjoyable to drink thanks to red fruit flavors, with an aftertaste of cocoa and toasted overtones. Enjoy with osso bucco, grilled beef fillet, and lamb.
