作為一款中級莊葡萄酒， ChateauLilian Ladouys在2014年度成功躋身《Wine Spectator》百大榜單，而且在今年2020年中級莊新鮮出爐名單中由原本Cru Bourgeois Supérieur (超級中級莊) 升級至只有14家的Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel (特級中級莊)  這足以證明Chateau Lilian Ladouys具有不可小覷的實力。

Chateau Lilian Ladouys位於法國波爾多Bordeaux的Saint-Estephe產區，其歷史最早可追溯至1564年。四百多年間，酒莊曾被數次轉手。2008年，JackyLorenzetti和Francoise Lorenzetti買下了酒莊並一直經營至今。
近幾年，隨著酒莊釀酒設備的更新以及釀酒技術的不斷提高，酒莊生產的葡萄酒的品質也更加卓越。

The blueberry and blackberry aromas are certainly attractive here. Full-bodied and dense with a very velvety texture and a long, generous finish of ripe fruit and spice. Drink from 2022..

Very lively, featuring a fun mix of cassis, plum paste and cherry preserve flavors, framed with floral and mineral notes. The light-handed toast lets the fruit shine through the finish, with persistent chalky minerality. Best from 2021 through 2031. 25,000 cases made.

The 2016 Lilian Ladouys is opulent and vivacious on a nose of red currant and raspberry fruit, well integrated oak and lovely rose petal aromas. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins, well-judged acidity, good body and a grippy but detailed finish with veins of blue fruit. This is a joy to drink, but it needs a couple of years. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.

The 2016 Lilian Ladouys is a blend of 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot aged in 30% new French oak for 15 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it sings of baked plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake with bay leaves, pencil lead and menthol. Medium-bodied, elegant and packed with vibrant flavor layers, it finishes long.
