Winery Château La Louvière

The earliest records of the estate date back to 1310. The property developed between the 16th and 17th centuries and later passed into the hands of various owners. The current building dates from the late 18th century. After a period of decline in the 20th century, Château La Louvière was purchased by André Lurton in 1965, leading to a revival of its winemaking activity; the property was listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments and classified in 1991. In 2009 a new partially underground cellar dedicated to the aging of red wines was opened.

It combines respect for traditional practices with openness to winemaking innovation, aiming to express the terroir of Léognan through clean, elegant wines. The estate emphasizes hospitality and the promotion of wine culture.

Located in the commune of Léognan, in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the vineyard rests on deep gravelly soils for the parcels planted with red varieties and on more varied soils for the parcels dedicated to whites. Its proximity to Bordeaux and the range of soil types favour both dry whites and structured reds.

The castle has been designated a Historic Monument.
