This 2012 Chateau La Louviere Rouge is a full-bodied red wine from the Bordeaux region of France. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes, aged for 12 months in oak barrels. The nose is full of ripe red fruit, with hints of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine is smooth and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum, along with notes of tobacco, leather, and cedar. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering. This is a complex and balanced wine that pairs well with grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses. Enjoy this wine now or cellar it for up to 10 years for further development.
