Presentation
Louvetier is the result of the expertise of the André Lurton family's oenological teams, owners of several Châteaux in Bordeaux, including Château La Louvière. This wine is made from grapes carefully selected in our vineyards, to highlight our magnificent terroirs.

Tasting
A lovely deep colour with carmine reflections.
The nose is remarkably intense, dominated by spicy notes and aromas of ripe fruit. This olfactory complexity is enriched by subtle toasted notes, creating a beautiful aromatic harmony.
The attack is full-bodied. Notes of vanilla accompany us throughout the tasting. The structure is well balanced. Due to its youth, the tannins are still a little firm; a few minutes of aeration should allow them to soften. This wine can be drunk now or kept for one or two years.
