Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estephe 2021 is a dry red Bordeaux from the Left Bank in France, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The estate is ranked Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, the top tier of the Cru Bourgeois classification.

The Lorenzetti family bought the chateau in 2008. Its vines grow on gravel over clay and limestone in Saint-Estephe, near Chateau Cos d'Estournel, and the 2021 was aged in oak barrels, 30% of them new.

Expect plum and redcurrant, white pepper, clove and dried herbs, with a medium body, fine, firm tannins and a fresh finish. James Suckling gives it 92 points, Vinous 91, Decanter 91 and Wine Advocate 89.

If you usually drink California Cabernet Sauvignon, this is the Bordeaux take on the grape: more savoury and less ripe, with fresher acidity and 13% alcohol.

It drinks well now and will keep for years. Serve it with steak, roast lamb or duck.

Awards

92 James Suckling
"This shows aromas of light plums and redcurrants with white pepper and cloves. Medium body, firm and fine tannins with a racy and fresh finish. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc. Pleasant now but has aging potential. Drink or hold."

91 Vinous
"The 2021 Lilian Ladouys turned out well. Medium in body, with pretty, forward fruit, the 2021 is very nicely balanced. Succulent dark plum, spice, new leather, menthol and dried herbs build into the silky finish."

91 Decanter
Decanter finds a round, "almost fleshy" texture with bright red berries, a hint of mint and a mineral edge. It calls the wine streamlined rather than heavy, easy to enjoy now and likely to improve with age.

89 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
William Kelley notes dark berries, dried petals and spice on the nose, and a medium-bodied, lively and supple palate with a hint of mint on the finish.
