Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

Ripe cherry, stewed blackberry, nutmeg, cedar and black olive on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with sleek, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Flavorful. Try from 2022.

Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 la Louviere leaps from the glass with notions of redcurrant jelly, fresh blackberries and warm black plums, plus nuances of dried mint, cedar chest and ground cloves. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and savory in the mouth, featuring a light touch of finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a compelling red berry lift. It's an elegant, lively expression of this vintage and one that really works!

Wine Spectator

Nicely packed, with a mix of red and black cherry paste, singed mesquite and red licorice notes, all carried by a lively, brambly savory-tinged finish. Lots to like here. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2031. 10,000 cases made.

Lacks some lift through the mid palate, but there is an attractive focus to the brambled black fruits and cut herbs of sage and rosemary. 50% new oak. Winemaking director is Vincent Cruège

Always a charming, enjoyable Graves, the 2018 Château La Louvière gives up a supple, fruit-forward, and medium to full-bodied style offering lots of ripe red and black fruits, cedary herbs, smoked tobacco, and violet-like aromas and flavors. It drops off slightly on the finish, but the purity is top-notch, and it has ripe, silky tannins and a balanced, elegant style that's a joy to drink. It's going to evolve for 10-15 years in cold cellars.

La Louviere 2018 has a deep garnet purple color. It delivers open-knit scents of stewed blackberries, warm cassis, and boysenberries, with hints of dried mint and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, the palate is light on its feet and refreshing, with soft tannins and a lifted finish.
