“With a lively attack, this wine unfolds with a linear, fresh character ~ Yves Beck”

“A fragrant, floral nose. Supple and lively, it offers lovely, relaxed notes of blueberry and fresh mint, with a crisp acidity in the background—not at all harsh, but one that enhances the overall profile. A fairly straightforward style, yet very well-defined, with enticing acidity and a finish so clean and precise, enhanced by a hint of chalky graphite and slate, that really makes you want to have another sip. Powerful, yet supple and approachable. Very true to its terroir. The finish is so successful that you immediately want another glass. ” (Decanter 2026)

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable selection, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

After passing Cos d’Estournel, and directly across from Lafon-Rochet, the two towers of Lilian-Ladouys rise from a sea of vineyards. This 47-hectare estate was purchased by Jacky Lorenzetti in September 2008. As at Pédesclaux, Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen oversees the technical management. Dense and colorful, the wines are instantly captivating. The archetype of a “super Bordeaux.”

About the estate:

In the 14th century, La Doys was a farmstead belonging to Lafite. After enjoying its heyday at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries under the name Château Ladouys, this estate had virtually disappeared. It was revived (and renamed after his wife) by Christian Thiéblot in the 1980s, then by Natexis starting in 1989. In 2008, there was another change in ownership when Jacky and Françoise Lorenzetti (of Pédesclaux in Pauillac) took over; they had sold their network of real estate agencies to invest in the vineyard. They undertook a major restructuring program for the 45 hectares of vineyards.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

After passing through the hands of several owners who did not always know how to realize its potential, the unassuming Château Lilian Ladouys was purchased by businessman Jacky Lorenzetti in 2008. Lorenzetti, who subsequently acquired Château Pédesclaux in Pauillac and Château Lafon Rochet in Saint-Estèphe, has great ambitions for his wines. Lilian Ladouys, which has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, has found a very respectable rhythm over the past few vintages. The wine deserves the attention of wine enthusiasts.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92-93/100

About the wine:

Half of the Merlot grapes in the blend come from vineyards on clay-limestone soils. Notes of blackcurrant and peppermint bridge the gap between the wine’s dark and bright sides, between freshness and ripeness! Slender on the palate at first, the wine unfolds with linearity and freshness. Its velvety tannins, in harmony with the crisp acidity, provide a solid foundation, and the wine gains depth as it unfolds on the palate. The power of Lilian-Ladouys is well-channeled, and it’s clear that freshness was prioritized even within this ultimately powerful wine! 2029–2045

About the wine:

Deep purple in color with violet highlights. A rich nose with aromas of blackberries, elderberries, and very ripe mulberries. Supported by subtle oak and notes of coffee. On the palate, the wine is well-structured, with flavors of ripe fruit, coffee, and dark chocolate, accompanied by subtle oak and a very nice finish.
