Château Lilian Ladouys 2020 Saint-Estèphe is a beautiful red Bordeaux that unites the finesse and power of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The 2020 vintage produced concentrated grapes thanks to an ideal mix of warm days and cool nights, resulting in a wine full of ripe black fruit such as blackberry, cassis and dark cherry. These notes are beautifully balanced by hints of tobacco, cedar and a touch of herbs, giving the wine a refined and layered character. The structure is firm, with silky tannins that, combined with lively acidity, provide a complex and lasting finish. This wine offers excellent balance and ageing potential, so it will continue to gain complexity for many years to come.
Wonderful with grilled entrecôte, lamb and rich pasta dishes.
