Château La Louvière: Tasting & Drinking
Mature vintages of Château La Louvière have not crossed my lips that often, with two encounters with the 1994 red being the only candidate in recent years; on both occasions I have really enjoyed this wine. My experience has been more with the wines in their youth, either tasted en primeur or, more importantly, tasted when just in bottle or at a few years down the line.
Looking at these tastings of young wines it is clear that in more recent vintages there have been some sterling efforts from the Lurton team at La Louvière, for both white wines and red in 2005 and 2006, and the white 2007 was also of good quality; I did not taste the corresponding red wine from this latter vintage. In 2003 the white was very typical of the vintage and thus not really to my liking, although the red was more interesting.
