Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estephe Cru Bourgeois 2016 Balthazar 12 litres - Original wooden case

818.00 € Tax included

Château Lilian Ladouys 2016 is a great red wine from Bordeaux in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, offered here in a large format: a very beautiful 12-litre bottle, a Balthazar, to be offered as a gift or to share on a beautiful festive table.

The excellent 2016 vintage, which benefited from a very hot and dry summer and light beneficial rains in September, offers a rich and greedy wine, marked in its youth by the aromas of crisp red and black fruits, and which offers a very nice balance between power and freshness, with a long finish. A wine to be tasted today and that can be kept in the cellar until around 2035.

Château Lilian Ladouys is classified as one of the best crus bourgeois in the Médoc. The grape varieties are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the proportion of which varies from one vintage to another, complemented by Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Find the wines of Château Lilian Ladouys and our selection of Médoc crus bourgeois currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.

You can also find other large bottles in our 12-litre bottle catalogue and all the large bottles: 3-litre Jeroboam and Double-Magnum, 6-litre Methuselah and Imperial, 9-litre Salmanazar, 12-litre Balthazar, 15-litre Nebuchadnezzar and 18-litre Melchior.
