Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel 2019

In 2019, all conditions are met to move towards a very beautiful vintage. Conditions for ripening were excellent. All four varieties clearly show the advantages of our clay-heavy gravel soils and the limestone bedrock beneath: each is expressive in its own way, and all four are fresh, rounded, and full of flavor. The tannins are velvety, the balance exceptional.
