Winemaker Notes
The white wine, a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, is dry, delicately vigorous and rich, possessing great aromatic complexity combining oak aromas and intense fruit flavours. It is a perfect example of the great dry white wines of Pessac-Léognan in the Graves.
Located fourteen kilometers south of the city of Bordeaux, in the heart of the Pessac-Leognan appellation, Chateau La Louviere's history goes back seven centuries. Records show that wine was already made there in 1310.
However, the vineyard as we know it today dates from the early 16th century. In 1620, the Carthusian monks who inherited the estate contributed their experience and expertise to producing wines that acquired an international reputation. Jean-Baptiste Mareilhad, a rich negociant, purchased the property during the French Revolution and built the present-day chateau in a pure neoclassical style. It is now listed as a historic monument. Andre Lurton became the owner of La Louviere in 1965 and has worked tirelessly to restore the estate's former splendour.
