About Chateau La Louviere Blanc 2018 Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux
Château La Louvière has long been famous for its white wines. In fact, these already highly-prized by Canadian merchants in the 17th century ! A century later, they were to be found on the finest tables in Saint Petersburg.The very elegant white La Louvière is now among the finest dry white wines in the Graves, and is a fine ambassador for the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Marked by the Sauvignon Blanc varietal character, but not overly so, it can age remarkably well.
Incredibly voluminous and rich on the palate, with a lovely long aftertaste, underpinned by vanilla overtones. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to a meal from the starter to the cheese platter. It is equally delicious served with asparagus in gribiche sauce, turbot with morel mushrooms or hard cheeses such as Cantal, Beaufort, etc.
James Suckling 95 Points
This is really tangy and fresh for the vintage, yet remains dense and structured in the middle palate. Full and flavorful. Excellent potential here. Well done.
Wine Enthusiast 93 Points
Barrel Sample. Pure notes of crisp, lemon and herbs give this wine freshness, intensity and layers of acidity and minerality. The wine will age relatively quickly.

The 2018 La Louvière Blanc is laced with hints of peach, apricot, slate, baked apple and a hint of toastiness that develops on the finish. Delicate and yet beautifully persistent, the 2018 Blanc has a lot to offer.
