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
Deep garnet red colour.
The nose is beautifully intense, revealing delicious notes of ripe red fruits (especially cherries) combined with gourmet aromas of tobacco.
The attack is distinguished by its suppleness, opening up to a generous mid-palate where the perfectly integrated tannins add a velvety texture. This wine is both delicious and easy to drink, and is extremely drinkable, making it a pleasure to enjoy.
