Note di degustazione
One of the finest of the lesser known Graves chateaux, La Louviere has been making terrific wine since the late eighties. Both vintages performed well in my 89/90 blind tastings. The 1989 is the softer, more developed of the two vintages, displaying a dark ruby/purple color with some lightening at the edge. The wine offers a ripe, curranty nose intertwined with scents of new oak, herbs, olives, and tobacco. Medium-bodied, soft, and smoothly-textured, this lush wine should drink well for 8-10 years.

Informazioni sul produttore
Wine has been made at this estate since the 1300s, but its modern history begins when the Lurton family purchased it in 1965. The property was in disrepair, but the Lurtons have restored the château, winery and vineyards.
