About this wine
A house of history. Winegrowing here dates to around 1310, when Carthusian monks shaped the early cellar know-how; the late-18th-century neo-classical château, lovingly restored by André Lurton, is today a listed Historic Monument. La Louvière sits at the heart of Pessac-Léognan's origin story, is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux, and featured in the Wine Spectator Top 100 (1989, vintage 1986). Recent vintages are consistently noted for structure, precision and ageing potential.
Tasting notes
- Nose
- Notes of black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), enhanced by a few empyreumatic notes (tar).
- Palate
- On the palate, it is a perfectly balanced wine. Everything blends together harmoniously: well-melted tannins, tasty black fruits (blackberry), a hint of chocolate, a nice volume and a beautiful structure.

The producer
Vignobles André Lurton
The Lurton family are pioneers of Pessac-Léognan and founders of Entre-Deux-Mers, and helped define modern Bordeaux. The house was founded by André Lurton, a visionary who was the key architect of the Pessac-Léognan appellation (1987) and founder of Entre-Deux-Mers – two important Bordeaux appellations – and an early advocate of sustainability. Its wines are estate-grown with a focus on terroir, from the historic Château La Louvière to Château Bonnet, the family's home estate since 1956.
