Presentation
Louvetier is the fruit of the expertise of the teams of oenologists and cellar masters of the André Lurton family, owners of several châteaux in the Bordeaux region, including Château La Louvière. This wine is made from grapes carefully selected in our vineyards to bring out the best in our magnificent terroirs.
The vintage
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.

Tasting
Brilliant pale pink with subtle salmon and silver highlights.
The nose is intense and fruity, with aromas of raspberry and red berry mixed with delicate notes of vineyard peach and fresh flowers, especially rose.
On the palate, the attack is soft and delicate, developing into a full and harmonious texture. A lovely liveliness enhances the whole, bringing freshness and energy to a long and elegant finish. Fresh, pleasing and perfectly balanced, this rosé is an invitation to convivial moments, ideal for sunny aperitifs or summer meals. A vintage to savour without delay.
