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.

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!

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.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

Bordeaux red wines are widely regarded as being the finest red wines produced anywhere in the world, regularly topping awards lists and generally being amongst the most sought after and collectable bottles available. The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.

Region: Bordeaux

There are few wine regions in the world with a reputation as glowing and well established as that of the Bordeaux, in France. Situated mainly around the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, Bordeaux makes the most of its humid climate and rich, clay and gravel based soils to grow some of the finest examples of red and white grape varietals on earth. Wineries in this region have been in operation for hundreds of years, and have carefully developed the expertise required for the production of carefully balanced and utterly delicious blended red and white wines, alongside some exceptional single variety bottles. Many of the chateaux found in Bordeaux have become household names, due to their prestige and the excellence of their products, grown with love and dedication by heritage wineries in this beautiful and special region.
