S.A.S. Les Vignobles André Lurton

Located fourteen kilometres south of the city of Bordeaux, in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château La Louvière’s history goes back seven centuries.

Records show that wine was already made here in 1310. However, the vineyard as we know it today dates from the early 16th century. In 1620, the Carthusian monks who inherited the estate contributed their experience and expertise to producing wines that acquired an international reputation.

In 1791, Jean-Baptiste Mareilhac, a rich négociant, purchased the property during the French Revolution and built the presentday château in a pure neoclassical style. It is now a listed historic monument.

André Lurton became the owner of La Louvière in 1965 and has worked tirelessly to restore the estate’s former splendour. Christine Lurton-de Caix became La Louvière’s ambassadress in 2014 in the context of Vignobles André Lurton’s Grands Crus division.

Terroir-based vineyard management, environmentally-friendly viticultural practices, and traditional winemaking methods coupled with the judicious use of modern techniques enable La Louvière to produce dry white and red wines of great character
