"Crafted using traditional methods combined with a few modern touches, it will charm you with its elegance, roundness, and fruitiness!"

“The second wine is more enjoyable to taste than the first; it is a straightforward, clean wine, yet with open, fragrant, and delicious fruit, accented by a pleasant hint of violet.” (La RVF 2026)

Nose

It has a rich, luscious flavor, revealing aromas of ripe dark fruits intertwined with spicy notes. After some time in the glass, this bouquet becomes more full-bodied

Palate

A full-bodied wine with a well-defined structure and a lovely richness on the finish that envelops the tannins. These tannins, still present, add depth while ensuring good aging potential. A generous wine that promises to age beautifully over time. Slightly toasty finish.

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Flanked by Carbonnieux and Haut-Bailly, it is one of Pessac-Léognan’s most effective ambassadors worldwide. The wines—both reds and whites—are powerful and consistently excellent, aging superbly. The Sauvignon-style whites, distinguished and exquisitely fresh, are among the appellation’s must-try wines. The reds now rival the whites, with a powerful and vigorous style that is by no means lacking in elegance.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Although unclassified, Ch. la Louvière—bordering Carbonnieux and Haut-Bailly—is nonetheless an iconic cru of Pessac-Léognan, thanks to the elegance of its château (designated a historic monument), the age of its vineyard (14th century), the role of its owner (André Lurton, who passed away in May 2019) in the creation of the AOC, and the consistent quality of its wines.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 89/100

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

The second wine is more enjoyable to taste than the first; it is a straightforward, clean wine, yet with open, fragrant, and delicious fruit, accented by a pleasant hint of violet.

About the estate:

André Lurton, who passed away in June 2019, was a prominent figure in the Bordeaux region and one of the key architects behind the creation of the Pessac-Léognan appellation in 1987. He had acquired La Louvière in 1965 and never ceased to promote this popular, accessible, and consistent wine. The program to modernize and improve vineyard management continues under the leadership of Jacques Lurton, who is also bringing a fresh approach to the winery, with aging practices that now place a strong emphasis on terracotta jars.
