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.
Elegant and Fruity
100% Sauvignon blanc.
Winter was harsh (many days with frost) and spring rather chilly. There was a great deal of sunshine in 2010 and a long period of drought from 21 June to late September, which was favourable for ripening.
Second wine of La Louvière, the L shows the same pale green highlights.
The nose is very delicate, with an ethereal nose of jasmin and acacia blossom, completed after agitation by a subtle touch of oak.
The palate is lively, with characteristic sauvignon notes of broom, white flowers and zesty citrus. Attractive, worth waiting a couple of years to let it reach full balance and maturity. Try it with scallops in cream. (January, 2012)

Like any living thing, wines can be surprising. In this case, the surprise is the 2010 vintage at La Louvière, where the second wine, L de La Louvière, trumps the top cuvée thanks to its elegance and freshness. The blend (85% Sauvignon) is the same, ditto the ten months spent in barrel, though more new oak was used for the premium wine. Both show attractive aromatic balance, suppleness and a lovely silky texture.
