6 Bottles of Chateau La Louvière Pessac-Leognan. The vintage is 2011. Château La Louvière is a well-regarded wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan subregion of Bordeaux, some 15km (nine miles) due south of Bordeaux city center. The estate, which produces both red and white wines, dates back to the 14th Century and has changed ownership multiple times throughout its history. In 1965, however, the château was purchased by its current owners, the Lurton family (with whom it remains closely associated) and was entirely restored. The estate produces red and white Bordeaux as well as wines for the second label, L de La Louvière. White grape varieties include Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon and cover 13.5 hectares (33 acres) of the estate, while red varieties compose 48 hectares (119 acres) of the property planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The vines average around 25-30 years old and sit on the classic gravelly soils (for which the wider Graves region is so named) although La Louvière also boasts additional limestone deposits within the soil towards to bottom of the slope. The bottles in the closed original wooden case will be shipped to you in a protective wine packaging to prevent damage.
