Blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.
Château La Louvière has many fascinating facets. The sumptuous architecture of the château building dates from the late 18th century, but winegrowing here goes back more than 700 years. The first vines were planted circa 1310, although modern winemaking dates from the 17th century and was handed down by able monks from the Carthusian monastery in Bordeaux, who had acquired considerable talent as viticulturists and winemakers.
This has a lively, juicy feel, with lots of red and black currant and cherry fruit carried by a warm tarry spine. Notes of anise, iron and roasted apple wood fill the finish, integrating perfectly with the fruit. Wine Spectator – 91
