Description
Lilian Ladouys is a Saint-Estèphe estate in the northern Médoc, and this is the 2017. A frost in April cut the Bordeaux crop that year, so many wines from it come from fewer grapes and taste concentrated yet fresh. Saint-Estèphe is known for firm, earthy reds.
Having seen about eight years in the bottle, the wine is ready for a roast. Think lamb leg with garlic, beef stew with red wine or a dense cheese such as Cantal. Decant for thirty minutes and pour at about 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Compared with the 2014, this one is a little younger and still has some grip left.
