I accidentally froze this wine but it thawed into an enjoyable wine. (I couldn’t tell the difference)

No formal notes. I have several previous Delectable Notes here. You could easily think this was new world with the passion fruit and tropical fruit flavours. The oak maturation adds a creamy textural note. No point in further cellaring I would say but an easy drinking wine now.

Enjoying some White Bordeaux lately. Previous notes from 10 July, a few months ago still apply. A whiff of passion fruit on this occasion. A creamy textural palate with a touch of pineapple juice on the 2nd night Barbara thought. Back Story: Andre Lurton who bought this property in 1965 is an aficionado of Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon is very much in the minority in this blend. Usually 85/15. Great match with fresh prawns. One of the 1001 wines.

Pale to mid lemon in colour. Notes of pear and spice and hint of verbena. Oak influence is light and well managed. The palate leans towards the opulent. Notes of mandarin with medium acidity. A medium cellaring future - very easy to like. Next one in the summer. I believe the blend is mainly Sauvignon Blanc over the Semillon.

Contrary to the header for this wine the 2015 La Louvière is not a blend, it is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It is understated at first, with a soft floral, vanilla and citrus accented bouquet but it opens beautifully on the palate with a lovely spice note. Fine structure, long finish
