Château La Louvière
A neo‑classical silhouette in Pessac‑Léognan sets the scene for Château La Louvière, where architecture and vineyard have grown up together for centuries. Vines were planted here around 1310; by the 17th century, Carthusian monks refined the estate’s craft with meticulous plot work and a rigorous cellar.
When André Lurton acquired the property in 1965, he steered a patient revival—restoring the château, re‑shaping the vineyards and tuning the style to the Graves: warm gravel, touches of limestone, and natural drainage that favors slow, even ripening. Classified as a Historic Monument in 1991, the estate balances hand selection, measured extraction and élevage that aims for precision rather than show.
The result is a Pessac‑Léognan defined by line and texture: poised, mineral‑toned and quietly persuasive, as if each vintage were a new chapter written on the same deep gravel pages.Château La Louvière
