Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Lilian Ladouys / Saint-Estèphe
Under the ownership of Jacky Lorenzetti, president of one of France’s top rugby clubs, this estate is now performing impressively. The wine is finely structured with dark tannins and tight acidity and a hint of minerality. It is Merlot dominated, although it is the 40% Cabernet Sauvignon that brings out the black-currant fruitiness. Drink from 2022.
