Professional Ratings

• 91 James Suckling
  Black currants, cocoa nibs, dried herbs and graphite on the nose, with some peppercorns. It’s firm and focused, savory, with a medium body and sleek, firm tannins. Nicely polished. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

  A rocking, upfront, textured, medium-bodied effort, the 2021 Château Lilian Ladouys offers lots of both red and black fruits, some spicy, herbal notes, fine tannins, and outstanding length. Based on 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it's a pleasure-bent, balanced, impeccably made Saint-Estèphe that will evolve for 10-15 years.
