More muscular and concentrated than usual for this estate, the 2022 Chateau Lilian Ladouys layers ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit with dark chocolate and earthy tones, framed by a firm but polished structure. The medium-bodied palate feels compact and energetic, with bright acidity and tightly knit tannins carrying a long, spicy finish that hints at cloves and cocoa. A serious, structured Saint-Estèphe that reflects the power of the vintage without losing freshness.
