2023 Chateau La Louviere Blanc Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews.....
The 2023 La Louvière Blanc has a reticent nose at first, but it just takes a few swirls to reveal real complexity and mineralité. This is a nuanced La Louvière Blanc—less outgoing than say, the Olivier Blanc. The palate is fresh and vibrant with an electric line of acidity that cuts through the concentrated white fruit. Beautifully composed on the finish, this is possibly the best white I have tasted from the estate at this early stage. Drink 2027-2047.

Serious density to this with phenolic framing, yet it’s agile and vivid with sliced-apple, lemon and mineral character. Flavorful finish. Tight and composed.

The 2023 Château La Louvière Blanc is terrific, with classy notes of ripe pineapple, crushed citrus, and subtle minty herbs. It's balanced and has a round, layered texture as well as a clean finish. It certainly brings the fruit and texture of the vintage and will shine in its youth.

Chamomile, herbal, with lime aspects. A smooth, even creamy, palate with breadth and energy as well, showing off white peach and clementine orange, with agreeable toasty oak accents (the wine is ageing in 30% new oak barrels of 500 litres). Long finish, frank and a bit tart, but in a nice way. Ageing will make this a sure winner and the wine has the needed acidity and dry extract for more long-term keeping. Drink 2025 - 2038.

Vibrant in nature, the wine is loaded with crisp, fresh, sweet, juicy, green apples, pomelo and touches of pineapple, and lemon rind. This is going to be quite nice to enjoy on release for all of its fruit, and vibrancy. Drink from 2025-2032.
