Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint Estephe / 750mL

The combination of powerful tannins and equally generous black fruits is a fine harbinger for this wine's development. Big, bold and juicy with a dense structure, the wine is for longterm aging. 95 Points Wine Spectator The Chateau Lilian Ladouys 2020 offers a fragrance of fresh blackberries and Burlat cherry, while the palate is rounded, powerful, and intense with velvety tannins, revealing notes of licorice, orange peel, and cocoa. It pairs exceptionally well with bone-in ribeye steak, wild boar, lamb stew, and a wide range of classic meat dishes including veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, and roasted, braised, or grilled chicken. It also complements Asian cuisine, hearty fish dishes such as tuna, mushrooms, and pasta. Blend: 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc
