Product detailed description
Château Lanessan 2017 is a great example of the balance and elegance typical of wines from the Haut-Médoc appellation. Although the 2017 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by climatic fluctuations, the result was wines with pleasant freshness and good potential. This wine is made from a traditional Bordeaux blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which gives it a firm but harmonious structure. Château Lanessan wines are known for their consistent quality and respect for tradition, which is fully reflected in this vintage.
Due to its intense purple color and complex aroma, this is an elegant companion to food. In the nose you can discover pleasant notes of blackcurrant and liquorice, which combine with fine tannins on the palate. For maximum enjoyment, we recommend decanting the wine approximately one hour before serving and serving at a temperature of 16-18 °C. It is a great accompaniment to grilled or roasted red meats, such as beef Wellington or lamb. Among regional specialties, it is perfect with mushroom dishes, such as duck with porcini mushrooms, or traditional cassoulet.

Château Lanessan
The history of Château Lanessan is remarkable—it has been owned by just two families since 1310. Until 1793, it was owned by the descendants of Henry de Lanessan, after which it was purchased by Bordeaux wine merchant Jean Delbos. At that time, the vineyard covered 24 hectares compared to today's 80 hectares.
Lanessan has always had an excellent reputation and was ranked among the fourth growths in 1814. Unfortunately for this château, in 1855, the then-owner Louis Delbos refused to submit samples for the Paris exhibition, excluding Lanessan from the future Grand Cru Classé classification, where it would have otherwise been included.
The vines for the wine labeled Château Lanessan ripen on 45 hectares of this area. The vineyards are located on a single contiguous parcel in the Haut-Médoc appellation, adjacent to the St. Julien appellation.
Since 1999, a second wine, Les Calèches de Lanessan, has been produced. In 2004, grape sorting was improved with its own two-stage system. In 2010, further progress was made in vineyard work thanks to soil analysis, and progressive methods were introduced in the cellar for vinification and wine aging.
