Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2020

The 2020 Cru Bourgeois Saint-Estèphe from Château Lilian Ladouys offers a rich and intense profile with aromas of fresh blackberries, Burlat cherries, and a complex palate featuring liquorice, orange peel, and cocoa. The wine is structured with dense tannins and a gourmand mouthfeel, showcasing the power and freshness characteristic of the Saint-Estèphe terroir, balanced by limestone-clay subsoils. The blend consists mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged for 15 months in 40% new barrels.
