Chateau La Louviere - Pessac Leognan 2001

 Wine Spectator 90 points.

"Lots of chocolate and blackberry character on the nose and palate, with just a hint of smoke. Full-bodied, with layers of lovely tannins and a long, caressing finish. Nicely done. Best after 2008."

Jancis Robinson 17.5/20

"Very, very deep crimson. Fresh, lively and indisputably Graves. Quite gentle. Well formed. Great balance."

Robert Parker 88 points.

"Consistently excellent as well as a reasonably good value, La Louviere’s 2001 possesses a deep plum/purple color in addition to soft, flavorful notes of cedar, smoked herbs, cherries, and black currants. Medium-bodied, elegant, and pure, it can be enjoyed over the next decade."
