RED WINE
CHATEAU LA LOUVIERE RED
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. The people who produce the wine in the 21st
century have inherited these time-honoured methods, adding just the right
amount of innovation and modernity to make the utmost of the outstanding
terroir. La Louvière's red wine has a dark colour and an elegant bouquet with
delicate hints of oak.
Tasting Notes
Colour is a deep red, close to ruby,
with occasional hints of purple.
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.
It is a very seductive wine that
should be kept for 2 or 3 years to appreciate its elegance, by tasting it with
a stuffed guinea fowl, a pan of mushrooms (ceps, chanterelles), or a cheese
(Roquefort).
