The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “The 2020 confirms its admirable dispositions and stands out as the estate's most accomplished. The fruit is superbly bright, juicy and flavorful, with lovely, graceful tannins and a tangy finish.”
Vinous (Neal Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “This wine is clean and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with soft, fresh, meaty tannins, but there's backbone here with a gentle but insistent grip to the soft finish.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2020): 92/100 “The 2017 is engaging, wonderfully inviting and simply delicious.”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 91/100 “The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well judged acidity, smooth in texture with a little more depth on the finish than I discerned out of barrel. This is turning into a very fine Pauillac.”
J-M Quarin (October 2020): 91/100 “This wine velvets right through to the finish, where lovely pure flavors and fine tannins shine. It's very good.”

After 15 years of wandering, Lilian-Ladouys was bought in 2008 by Mr Lorenzetti. As at Pédesclaux, extraordinary investments are bearing fruit: Lilian-Ladouys is once again one of the most beautiful crus bourgeois of Saint-Estèphe.
And even of the Médoc, by winning the Coupe des crus bourgeois with its 2012, or by being rated 90/100 by M. Galloni (Vinous) for its 2014.
