Very lively, featuring a fun mix of cassis, plum paste and cherry preserve flavors, framed with floral and mineral notes. The light-handed toast lets the fruit shine through the finish, with persistent chalky minerality.

Professional Ratings

93 James Suckling
The blueberry and blackberry aromas are certainly attractive here. Full-bodied and dense with a very velvety texture and a long, generous finish of ripe fruit and spice.
91 Vinous Media
The 2016 Lilian Ladouys has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, cedar and light mint aromas, quite potent with mineral scents developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, rather foursquare and precise. More Pauillac in style than Saint-Estèphe thanks to that graphite note on the long finish. Excellent. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.
92 Wine Enthusiast
Now under the same ownership as vastly improved Château Pedesclaux in Pauillac, this estate is also on the upward quality curve. This wine has the structure and tannins of a classic Saint-Estèphe as well as juicy, rich black fruits.
