The 2016 Ch\u00e2teau La Louvi\u00e8re Rouge is one of the most famous wines from Pessac-L\u00e9ognan. The historic ch\u00e2teau has been owned by Vignobles Andr\u00e9 Lurton since 1965 and is known for its elegant, terroir-driven Bordeaux wines. The exceptional 2016 vintage produced a wine with a perfect balance of ripe fruit, refined structure, and freshness.<\/p>\n
The wine is primarily a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. After aging for about twelve months in French oak barrels, it develops a harmonious blend of ripe black fruit, subtle oak notes, and mineral finesse. The 2016 vintage is impressive when young and also suitable for long-term cellaring.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of cassis, black cherries, plums, graphite, cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is powerful and elegant, with ripe tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine about one to two hours in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, duck, game, mushrooms, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
