BRONZE MEDAL

Cedar, black fruits. Sweet fruit clean, well made. Good balance. Chocolate note. Drink now.

Deep robe with crimson hints. Clean nose, nice ripped red fruit, delicate woody notes. In mouth, fleshy wine, silky tannins, beautiful fruit expression. Richness and length are also there.

Very classic Bordeaux in the best sense. This shows a structure and tannic content that keeps well in balance with the black currant fruits. With its dry core, it promises well as a food wine, cutting through red meats with ease.

Exploitée par la famille Lapalu depuis 1995, cette propriété a appartenu aux princes de Polignac. Sous une robe rubis typique, le 2004 dévoile un bouquet concentré et complexe, alliant le fruit et le grillé. Accompagné par un boisé bien présent, le palais se montre élégant et invite à une garde de quelques années. Faisant également parti des Domaines Lapalu, le Château Lieujean 2004 est cité.

Date : January 2007
