Barrel Sample. Owned by Jacques Lurton, the wine from this estate promises great richness and fine tannins as it develops. While it has serious tannins and power the wine also promises some finely textured black fruits. It will certainly age well.
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 – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

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.

The 2020 La Louviere has a deep garnet-purple color and compelling notes of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries and mulberries, plus suggestions of spice cake, forest floor and unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, the palate is bright and crunchy, offering firm, grainy tannins to support, finishing long and refreshing.

Ripe black cherries, currants, savory spice, and leather are just some of the nuances in the 2020 Château La Louviere, a medium-bodied, balanced, complex, incredibly charming Pessac-Léognan. It already offers pleasure if you don't mind tannins, but it's going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly over the following decade or more. It's a beautiful wine.

Fresh black berry fruit, graphite, fresh earth and tobacco leaves on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, creamy tannins. Mineral and chalky at the end. Try after 2025.

The 2020 La Louvière offers tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. A burst of raspberry, mocha, rose petal and spices gives the 2020 its juicy, open-knit personality. Soft curves and silky tannins give the 2020 its racy, seductive character. This is very nicely done. Tasted two times.

A welcome precision and depth, with a slate texture that offers a sense of minerality and lift. Good quality with dark fruits, cassis and bilberry, and touches of bitterness on the finish. Once again the concentration and tannins of the vintage are clear.
