The estate
The Château La Louvière, located in Léognan within the Pessac-Léognan appellation, is a wine estate of remarkable historical significance. Founded in 1310, it was transformed into a modern vineyard between 1510 and 1550 by Pierre de Guilloche. In 1620, it was entrusted to the Carthusian monks, who established its viticultural reputation. Acquired by André Lurton in 1965, the château was carefully restored and is now classified as a Monument Historique. The estate, still managed by the Lurton family, is renowned for its White wines and Red wines of exceptional quality.
