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
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Weather
L'hiver et le printemps ont été très doux. Mais l'été 2014 n’a pas tenu ses promesses : pluviométrie élevée en juillet, fraîcheur en août. Un été indien inespéré, à partir de septembre, avec des températures élevées, a été très favorable à la récolte et à l'obtention d'une bonne maturité.
Tasting Comment
Appareance
2014 L de La Louvière is crystal-clear, with an attractive yellow colour and green highlights.
Nose
Discreetly fruity and slightly tangy, with a hint of grapefruit.
Mouth
Attractively rich and powerful and quite fine on the middle palate. The aftertaste is vivacious and refreshing with hints of citrus (grapefruit). Like the grand vin, Château La Louvière, this is strongly marked by Sauvignon Blanc. It goes beautifully with white meats and fish dishes.
