Score 89-91/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Darker cherries, mulberries, spicy wood, and graphite notes define 2024 Château Lilian Ladouys. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced on the palate, it has fine tannins and solid length. This could easily be an outstanding wine.

Score 85-87+/100 · Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, Apr 2025

A blend of 66% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Lilian Ladouys evokes aromas of dark berries and cassis. It is followed by a moderately weighted, supple and lively palate, yet it lacks the broad shoulders and depth found in stronger vintages.

The 2024 Lilian Ladouys is a very pretty, mid-weight Saint-Estephe. Floral and savory notes open first, leading to a core of red berry fruit. Lithe and elegant, with fine balance, Lilian Ladouys is quite the charmer. There's just a bit of tightness on the finish, but élevage should take care of that. Tasted two times.

Score 86-88/100 · Drink 2029-2039, Neal Martin, Vinous, Apr 2025

The 2024 Lilian Ladouys, which has slightly higher levels of Merlot and Petit Verdot, has a touch of dark chocolate and espresso on the nose that marginally obscures some of the fruit and slightly detracts from its delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with light and grainy tannins, simple with a somehow "generic" finish. I'm not sure the composition of the blend really suits this Lilian Ladouys, and that is reflected in my score.
