L de La Louvière White
Château La Louvière's second wine, L de La Louvière, is made with the same care and attention as its older brother. This wine is immensely attractive thanks to its roundness and fruitiness. It is produced according to traditional methods with a few modern touches in a prestigious location where art reigns alongside winegrowing.
Wine style
Fresh and Fruity
Grape blend
Sauvignon blanc 100%
Weather
2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
A pretty yellow colour, quite pale, with green and silver reflections.
Nose
Expressive and complex on the nose, revealing delicious notes of white fruit (nectarine) and also exotic fruit.
Mouth
Lots of freshness and roundness on the palate, leading to a nice finish. On the palate, flavours of white fruit, lemony notes associated with a light oaky note. An elegant wine that can be tasted with warm asparagus with boiled egg and capers, marinated prawns, or Ossau-Iraty cheese.
