Château La Louvière has long been famous for its white wines. In fact, these already highly-prized by Canadian merchants in the 17th century ! A century later, they were to be found on the finest tables in Saint Petersburg.The very elegant white La Louvière is now among the finest dry white wines in the Graves, and is a fine ambassador for the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Marked by the Sauvignon Blanc varietal character, but not overly so, it can age remarkably well.
Elegant and Fruity
Sauvignon 85% / Sémillon 15%
The winter of 2004 was marked by below-average temperatures and a water deficit. Summer weather was quite variable, without a great deal of heat. Sunshine was good in July, but there were heavy showers in August. September was remarkably warm with plenty of sunshine and high night-time temperatures.
Pale yellow.
Dominant fruit notes, tropical (pineapple), as well as pear, Golden Delicious apple, and some flinty minerality.
Powerful yet balanced. Drink now, with smoked salmon or sweet-and-sour dishes.
Tasted at the André Lurton tasting in London. The 2004 La Louviere Blanc is firmly into secondary aromas territory with beeswax, lanolin and faint rosewater/peachy scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a lovely waxy texture and subtle notes of lemon rind, marmalade and frangipane toward the finish. It feels long and generous, with just the right amount of tension and sappiness to urge you back for another sip. Excellent. Tasted June 2017. (Neal Martin)
2008 Edition - The nose is elegant, fruity, with discreet tropical notes. The palate is less expansive, despite good fruit expression and length.
2007 Edition - Pale yellow. Elegant notes with hints of iris and lily, almond, sweet spices, discreet oak. Massive palate, full, rich, fresh and expressive. Opulent and comprehensive.

2007 Edition - Undoubtedly one of most elegant estates. Its refinement and class are mirrored in the wine, first on the nose, a delightful meander from beds of lilies and iris to baskets of peaches and apricot, with invigorating wafts of menthol. Brisk upfront, fine and elegant from mid-palate to finish. Elegance is also the keynote for the L de La Louvière white 2004, which also merits a star.

Classic sauvignon Blanc-dominated nose. Fine minerality, length, good balance and structure, clean, crisp, a good future. Up to 5 years. (Recommended)
Very pale colour. Intense nose. Palate smooth and light. Not too much substance.
