Critics scores
87 Robert Parker
A big, earthy, berry fruit, spice box, and unsmoked tobacco-scented nose is followed by a lovely, fruit-forward, medium-bodied, soft wine that is meant to be consumed over the next 5-6 years.
86 Wine Spectator
Aromas of sweet basil and berry, with a hint of flowers, lead to a medium body that offers fine tannins and a fruity berry aftertaste. Best after 2011. 12,500 cases made. –JS

Château La Louvière
Nestled in Bordeaux’s winemaking cradle, Château La Louvière can be found in Pessac-Léognan, just several kilometers from the city. Benefiting from a long vinous history of over seven centuries, the current château was built by Jean-Baptiste Mareilhac during the French Revolution. By 1965 the neoclassical château was purchased by André Lurton, who worked to restore the estate’s former glory. Terroir-based vineyard management, environmentally-friendly viticultural practices, and traditional winemaking methods coupled with the judicious use of modern techniques enable La Louvière to produce dry white and red wines of great character.
