Intensity
A fine Saint-Estèphe wine, especially from the 2008 vintage onwards (change of team). Dense and concentrated, with wonderfully mature fruit and a very well-integrated maturation; now well worth our attention.

Château Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois 1996
The wine
The bouquet releases notes of spices and toast. On the palate, it is fruity, rounded and refined, with sound, perfectly integrated tannins. Very elegant, this wine benefits from a few years in the cellar to bring out its full richness.
About the Producer Château Lilian Ladouys
Lilian Ladouys is a Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois which took a long time to find its own style. However, since it was bought by the business man Jacky Lorenzetti in 2008 (Pédesclaux, Issan), this cru has warranted attention from all wine lovers. The wine has gained definition and vintage after vintage the progress made has been most impressive. And it is very affordably priced.
