Château Lilian Ladouys 2025

A perfumed and floral aroma. Supple and lively, a lovely relaxed cool blueberry and fresh mint aspect with bright acidity in the background, nothing tart, but lifting the frame. Quite a straight style, but really well defined, with mouthwatering acidity and such a clean and precise finish with a lick of limestone graphite and slate that is really moreish. Power but smooth and approachable. Very transparent to its terroir. Ends just so well, you want another glass straight away. 3.7pH. 67 IPT. Ageing 30% new oak, 5% amphoras. Drinking window: 2028-2039. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
