Description
The 1985 Château La Louvière Blanc is a fascinating example of how well white Bordeaux wines can evolve over time. From the renowned Pessac-Léognan appellation, this vintage has spent decades developing layers of complexity, offering a rare opportunity to experience the depth and character that mature Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon can achieve.
With age, the wine reveals delicate aromas of dried apricots, honey, toasted almonds, and subtle beeswax. The palate is refined yet expressive, balancing richness with minerality and a lingering, textured finish. Proper storage has allowed this vintage to retain freshness while showcasing the more developed notes that make older white Bordeaux so unique.
For those who appreciate aged wines, this is a bottle that tells a story. Best enjoyed at 12°C (54°F), it pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy cheeses, or seafood dishes with a rich sauce. Given its maturity, gentle handling and decanting may help bring out its full character.
The 1985 Château La Louvière Blanc is a thoughtful choice for those looking to explore aged white Bordeaux at its best.
