James Suckling, December 2021 (Vintage 2019)

Aromas of sliced apple, fennel, papaya, flint and lemon curd. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a zesty, rich and layered palate. Hints of spice on the vibrant finish. 100% sauvignon blanc. Drink now.

Neal Martin, February 2023 (Vintage 2019)

The 2019 La Louvière Blanc is well-defined on the nose, featuring scents of green apple, nettle and pear and a touch of melted wax. The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine line of acidity and nicely integrated oak. The finish feels understated yet supplies just the right amount of bitterness. Excellent.

William Kelley, July 2022 (Vintage 2019)

Bottled under Diam 30, the 2019 La Louvière Blanc wafts from the glass with discreetly reductive aromas of nectarine, citrus oil and subtle botanicals. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's deep and layered, with tangy acids and a long, mouthwatering finish.
