Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2016

93–94
/100

Denne lille vingård har allerede fejret store succeser i meget gode år som 2009 og 2010, men også i 2015. De har brug for godt vejr. I vanskelige år er det også meget svært at producere en god vin her. Næsen er meget fyldig, frisk blomme, fyldige, røde, søde kirsebær, et fint strejf af eukalyptus og mynte underneden samt lidt abrikos. Dette viser, hvor smukt moden Merlot er blevet. Dette er en sand fornøjelse. Meget finere og mere legende i forhold til 2010. Og alligevel lige så tæt. Kraftig mund med en hel del kraft. Efter næsen viser den et overraskende stort tryk i munden, men forbliver stadig fin. Fyldig og dejligt frisk. Måske ikke en af de bedste i appellationen, men en meget harmonisk vin med et smukt, kirsebærlignende udtryk i Merlot'en. Ikke så meget blåbær eller brombær, men mere den polerede sorte frugt. Fin hyldebær underneden. En fornøjelse at drikke, men har brug for et par år. En meget elegant lille Saint Estèphe. 93-94/100

Suckling om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Aromas of black currants and herbs with a touch of eucalyptus. Tight yet expressive fruit on the palate. The dark fruit core shows good concentration and clarity, with freshness, energy and a generous, lingering finish. Drink or hold. 10 Years On retrospective.

Decanter om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

A touch of reduction on the first nose clears to show tight tannins that retain their austerity, even at four years old. Shows signs of having a long life ahead, and is serious in tone and its delivery of cassis and blackberry fruit. Concentrated, well balanced, enjoyable; although the 2010 remains for me the standard-bearer of quality at this estate. 92/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

Now under the same ownership as vastly improved Château Pedesclaux in Pauillac, this estate is also on the upward quality curve. This wine has the structure and tannins of a classic Saint-Estèphe as well as juicy, rich black fruits. With aging potential, the wine should be ready to drink from 2024. 92/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

This is the third time I have tasted the 2016 Lilian Ladouys in bottle. It retains a very intense blackberry and boysenberry bouquet laced with minerals, but displays a little more amplitude than it did in August. The tightly knit palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and still shows the graphite seam that I remarked upon previously. There is a little more persistence now, hence the slightly higher score. Good potential. 92/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

A perennial overachiever, the 2016 Château Lilian Ladouys brings the goods in 2016 and has a complex, medium to full-bodied, character-filled style to go with loads of blue fruits, incense, dried herbs, and a hint of violets. A blend of 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot all raised in 30% new barrels, this charming, front end-loaded effort is well worth seeking out. It should keep for 10-15 years. 92/100

Parker om: Chateau Lilian Ladouys Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel

The 2016 Lilian Ladouys is a blend of 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 62% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot picked between 3-17 October and matured in 30% new oak. It has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow and graphite, plenty of fruit here with excellent delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with ebullient red berry fruit laced with white pepper and bay leaf, a touch of brown spice towards the generous finish. Very fine...this is a step up from the 2015. 91-93/100
