Note di degustazione
Apple core. White grapefruit. A little white peach flesh – just à point. Nettle and greengage. Lemon confit. White flowers. This is richer aromatically than Couhins Lurton but it takes a while to open fully. It’s fleshier on the palate and with a slightly more open texture too. Crystalline, fresh, pure and very well defined in its linearity with a clear and evident central spine. Zesty. Clementine peel. Very fresh and gloriously sapid, with a lovely salinity to the finish. This already has me craving oysters.

The 2024 Château La Louvière Blanc offers juicy citrus, pineapple, minty herbs, and a touch of white flowers in its vibrant aromatics. It's medium-bodied and supple, with bright, integrated acidity, terrific fruit intensity, and a clean, focused finish. It's a seriously well-made white.
Cheerful and vivid in character, delivering crisp citrus, lime zest and saffron, bright, slim, savoury and full of floral cheer and lift through the palate. Harvest 4 to 12 September. 43 hl/ha. Tasted twice.
The 2024 La Louvière Blanc has a crisp and quite concentrated bouquet that takes time to open up, less immediate than its peers. The palate offers apricot, mandarin and light peachy notes on the entry. This has good depth and length, even if it just lacks the mineralité of the best dry whites in this vintage.

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.
