Robert Parker 91
The La Louviere 2018 Blanc needs a little swirling to unlock vibrant notes of white peaches, fresh pears and lemon curd with touches of jasmine, lime cordial and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate delivers racy citrus and apple flavors with a suggestion of creaminess to the texture and a provocative chalkiness on the finish.

From one of several estates owned by the Lurton family in Pessac-Leognan, this wine is floral, ripe and packed with tangy, citrus acidity. Wood aging has smoothed the tight, mineral texture and brought up the fruitiness.

Quite plump, with a note of candied lemon peel amid the racier white peach, verbena and lemon zest flavors. Lots of honeysuckle and straw accents line the finish.

Description
Chateau la Louviere has long been famous for its white wines. Centuries later, the white La Louvière is now among the finest dry white wines in the Graves and is a fine ambassador for the highly respected Pessac-Léognan appellation.
Tasting notes
Crystal clear with a slightly golden pale yellow color. Aromas of ripe peach, citrus fruit and passion fruit; complemented by a hint of smoke. Rich and complex on the palate with hints of lemon, gooseberry and grapefruit and oak. With a good finish, this will be the ideal companion for a seafood stew, roasted chicken or cheese.
