2025 · Château Lilian Ladouys

Château Lilian Ladouys is a Saint-Estèphe estate in Bordeaux, owned by the Lorenzetti family since 2008, with Manon Lorenzetti representing the second generation. Since the takeover, the property has been extensively restructured, with a respectful approach to nature and certified organic farming achieved in 2024, alongside HVE Level 3 and Natura 2000 commitments. Vineyard work emphasizes soil life, aeration and careful manual attention. In the cellar, the approach is precise and gentle: manual harvests, double sorting, gravity-flow handling, cold maceration and soft extraction aim to preserve fruit and finesse rather than rustic power. The wines are noted for their generous yet refined Saint-Estèphe character, combining ripe tannins, freshness, refined oak and immediate pleasure.
