James Suckling 95
Fragrant nose of lemongrass, lime zest, green pineapple, cloves and herbs. Vibrant and zesty, with a medium body. Driven. Plenty of tension and length, slowly evolving to cream, orange zest and white chocolate. Fantastic this year. Sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold.

The 2020 La Louviere Blanc opens with notes of applesauce, white peaches and pink grapefruit with hints of honeysuckle and allspice. The medium-bodied palate is packed with apple and stone fruit flavors, supported by a racy backbone and finishing with a spicy kick.

Beautifully fruity while also showing texture that will allow for plenty of aging, this is richly complex wine. With acidity shooting through the wine, it has great freshness as well as concentration.

Technical Details
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.
