2025 Chateau Lilian Ladouys - St. Estephe (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Lilian Ladouys, the Lorenzetti family's favourite

In 2008, Jacky and Françoise Lorenzetti bought the estate after falling instantly in love with it. They brought passion and ambition to this new project. In 2018, the handover began with the arrival of Manon Lorenzetti. Guided by the same ambition as her parents, she brought new energy to their project. Manon wants to keep pushing towards best practices in the vineyard, that her parents initiated in 2009 alongside Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen and his team.

Since 2024, Château Lilian Ladouys has been certified Organic farming.

The 2025 Vintage:

The 2025 vintage confirms the exceptional quality of years ending in 5. It follows the great Bordeaux classicism, where depth, freshness, and precision combine in a broad, enveloping expression.
Built under a dry and luminous climate, marked by early water stress between mid-May and the end of July, 2025 tested the vines without ever compromising the identity of our terroirs. On our deep gravel soils as well as on our clay plots, their natural ability to absorb climatic extremes fully revealed itself, preserving straightness, tension, and freshness—the very soul of the great wines of Saint-Estèphe. The vines naturally regulated their yields, producing very small, concentrated, and uniform berries. The first half of August, particularly hot, accelerated ripening without excessive sugars, tempered by late-August rainfall. 

Tasting Notes

At Château Lilian Ladouys, the expression is immediate thanks to the high proportion of Merlot: bright, crunchy black and red fruits, generous pulp, and enveloping tannins. The wine combines generosity with precision, resulting in a juicy balance.
The natural power of the terroir unfolds fully, revealing with accuracy finesse, freshness, and depth—a profoundly delightful expression
