Château La Louvière

The château features deep gravel and calcareous clay soils across its 61.5 hectares, with 48 hectares dedicated to red grape varieties and 13.5 to white grapes.

Jean-Baptiste Mareilhac commissioned architect François Lhote to design the current château building in 1791 after acquiring the property during the French Revolution.

The estate produces both red and white wines aged for 12 months in oak barrels, continuing a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1476.

Visitors can participate in various wine tours, including a two-hour Gourmet tour and a one-hour Discovery tour focusing on grape varieties and production techniques.

The property incorporates terracotta amphoras alongside traditional oak barrels in its wine fermentation process, adding complexity to its winemaking methods.
