    Product description

    Dating back to the 16th century, This Cru Bourgeois has the reputation of producing excellent wine at relatively modest prices. Thanks to the limestone-clay subsoils, the power of the wine made here is balanced with a wonderful sensation of freshness.

    Aromas of red and black berry fruit with hints of truffle, spice and cedar. Full bodied on the palate with concentrated fruits and firm tannins well-balanced with a tight acidity and mineral finish.

    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.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Château Lilian Ladouys

    Château Lilian Ladouys can trace its history back to the 16th century, when it went by the name of Chateau La Doys. The most recent era for the estate began in 2008 when it was purchased by Jacky Lorenzetti, also the owner of Ch. Pedesclaux and Ch. D’Issan which have both seen quality, reputation and demand increase since his purchase. Already known as a producer of excellent wine at relatively modest prices, 2018 marks a new chapter for this Cru Bourgeois estate, with the purchase of the excellent vineyards of Tour de Pez and Clauzet. Thanks to the appellation’s limestone-clay subsoils, its power is balanced out by a wonderful sensation of freshness.
