Château Lilian Ladouys
On the southern edge of Saint‑Estèphe, where gravel crests mingle with cooler clay, the vineyards of Château Lilian Ladouys have been traced since the 16th century. Long recognised as a Cru Bourgeois, the estate was reshaped in 2008 by the Lorenzetti family, pairing re‑parcelling with a quiet obsession for accuracy.
Around the Cos plateau, terroir becomes a tool: lean gravels for Cabernet Sauvignon’s frame, clay‑tinged pockets that steady Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot to stitch in lift. Hand harvesting, rigorous sorting and measured élevage in French oak focus the wine’s line, without pushing it into make‑up.
The result is Saint‑Estèphe spoken in a modern dialect—structured, disciplined and deeply rooted—built on sustainable viticulture and the belief that each parcel should be listened to before it is blended.Château Lilian Ladouys
