In a few words ...
"Lilian Ladouys has a very pretty nose with dominant notes of ripe blackberries mingling with vanilla woodiness. The palate is pretty and pure, with supple black fruits and a very complex, concentrated finish. This is truly a delicious Saint-Estèphe from a revived estate, very well made." E-ROBERT PARKER, NEAL MARTIN - April 2012
Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted | Smoked
Taste
The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.

Never disappointed with Lilian Ladouys, 2016 vintage with a wine completely on the fruit, lots of roundness, not very pronounced tannins, a smooth wine like all the vintages of this château.

One bottle's a goner, the other two quite nice, but this vintage, as expected, is at the end of its life. Nevertheless, it perfectly matches what we expect from a St Estèphe on the palate, for what remains of long-lasting aroma. So, to be discovered.

A pure marvel of a wine, what an aroma, a wonderful discovery, it goes well with good Corsican charcuterie and a good Saint-Marcellin.

Very easy to digest, seductive. Fragrances of red fruit but the hint of acidity is not aggressive. Very well-balanced!

A little less refined than the 2013, but a real treat, enjoyed with lamb confit with a cep sauce.
