Famille Lorenzetti Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint Estephe 2021

Château Lilian Ladouys 2021 is an elegant Bordeaux red wine from the renowned Saint-Estèphe appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, France. Owned by the Lorenzetti family, this Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel estate is celebrated for producing refined, expressive wines that reflect the character of the Médoc. The 2021 vintage combines the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the supple fruit character of Merlot, delivering a classic Saint-Estèphe experience. This beautifully balanced wine offers aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, tobacco and gentle oak spice. The palate is fresh and structured, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity and a refined mineral character. Its elegant finish and ageing potential make it an excellent choice for Bordeaux enthusiasts, collectors and special occasions.

Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, braised short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, aged Comté and mature cheddar.

92 Points - James Suckling

This shows aromas of light plums and redcurrants with white pepper and cloves. Medium body, firm and fine tannins with a racy and fresh finish. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc. Pleasant now but has aging potential. Drink or hold.

89 Points - Wine Advocate
