Chateau Lilian Ladouys
On September 24, 2008, Jacky and Françoise Lorenzetti acquired Château Lilian Ladouys, with their daughter Manon joining in 2018. Proud of their journey, the Lorenzettis restructured the Saint-Estèphe vineyards, focusing on environmental sustainability. In 2020, Château Lilian Ladouys was honored as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. That same year, the estate began its transition to full organic practices. The vineyards, spanning over 80 hectares on the Cos plateau, benefit from the region’s unique soils. The family’s land consolidation efforts have recreated ideal conditions reminiscent of 19th-century vineyards, optimizing the estate’s potential.
