Structurally firm, this wine shows dry tannins over tight berry fruits. It is initially tough, but the firmness does open out to give fresh black currant flavors and a spicy wood aftertaste.

Good density here, with tannins that spring from bright berry fruits. The acidity is certainly present, but it has weight behind it, giving potential richness balanced by wood.

A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine, Lieujean is full, although showing some signs of austerity with tannins that are still very firm. It does have a fine, spicy, smoky character as well as black berry fruit and fine tannins. Age for 3–4 years.

One of the group of estates owned by Jean-Michel Lapalu (the others include Liversan), this is a relatively soft wine, but one with good ripe fruits. This means that it is ready to drink now, an easy wine, with pleasant stalky tannins. Imported by Wine Frog.

Pure fruits and black currant juice flavor are just lightly layered with some tannins making this wine easy, fresh and refreshing. Enjoy now.

The vineyard of Lieujean in the northern Haut-Médoc is dominated by Cabernet, and that shows in this firmly fruity, but also structured wine. It is not the power that works here, but the balance.
