Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This white wine is aged for a year in oak barrels. Delicate yet vigorous, with intense fruit flavors, it is a perfect example of the great dry wines of Pessac-Leognan.

It is lovely as aperitif and is an excellent complement to fish and seafood preparations.

Professional Ratings

    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.

  • 93
    Bright Sauvignon Blanc aromatics on the nose, this is good quality. Power, concentration and spliced citrus and slate minerality. Maintains momentum, easy to love. A yield of 31hl/ha, with 10 months ageing on lees with regular stirring in to fatten up the mouthfeel. An impressive La Louvière, stands out from recent vintages at this estate.

    Clean lemon pith, honeyed pineapple, and some floral, spicy notes all emerge from the 2020 Chateau La Louviere Blanc, a medium-bodied, juicy, remarkably pure Graves Blanc that's going to continue drinking nicely for 5-7 years. This is classic stuff and well worth seeking out. Best After 2023.

  • 91

    A successful rendition of this 100% Sauvignon Blanc bottling, which over the years has exemplified the winemaking style popularized by the late Denis Dubourdieu, the 2020 La Louvière Blanc exhibits aromas of pink grapefruit, lemongrass and pastry cream. Medium-bodied, bright and incisive, with a pretty core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish, it's a charming middleweight that will likely put on a bit of weight with additional bottle age. It's bottled under Diam 30. Best after 2022.

Chateau La Louviere, France
Chateau La Louviere Winery Image
Located fourteen kilometers south of the city of Bordeaux, in the heart of the Pessac-Leognan appellation, Chateau La Louviere's history goes back seven centuries. Records show that wine was already made there in 1310.

However, the vineyard as we know it today dates from the early 16th century. In 1620, the Carthusian monks who inherited the estate contributed their experience and expertise to producing wines that acquired an international reputation. Jean-Baptiste Mareilhad, a rich negociant, purchased the property during the French Revolution and built the present-day chateau in a pure neoclassical style. It is now listed as a historic monument. Andre Lurton became the owner of La Louviere in 1965 and has worked tirelessly to restore the estate's former splendour.
