Presentation
Château La Louvière's second wine, L de La Louvière, is made with the same care and attention as its older brother. This wine is immensely attractive thanks to its roundness and fruitiness. It is produced according to traditional methods with a few modern touches in a prestigious location where art reigns alongside winegrowing.
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.
Terroir
Deep gravel with fine limestone over small areas at the foot of the slopes.

Tasting
Pale yellow colour with bright green highlights.
The clean, precise nose opens up quickly to reveal a generous aromatic palette of exotic fruit notes (pineapple, mango and passion fruit) mixed with white fruit aromas (pear and peach). A subtle hint of vanilla enhances the deliciousness of this wine.
The wine has a frank, lively and thirst-quenching attack. Its well-balanced structure is underpinned by fine acidity, which prolongs the wine's freshness. The aromatic profile remains consistent with the nose, offering notes of juicy exotic fruit, citrus and white-fleshed fruit, with a subtle hint of vanilla. The clean, persistent finish leaves an impression of purity and dynamism. This vintage, characterised by its natural freshness, offers a precise, brilliant, harmonious wine.
