Product detailed description
Château Lanessan 2020 is a prestigious red wine from the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux. This vintage is appreciated for its elegant structure and promises a long life, the result of optimal climatic conditions. The winery, known for its tradition and skills, has created a wine with aromas of black fruit, complemented by spicy and woody notes. Thanks to the gravelly subsoil, the wine is complex and shows typical characteristics of this region.
To fully develop its aromas and soften the tannins, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16 to 18 ° C and decant it approximately 1 hour before tasting. This wine goes well with refined dishes such as roasted lamb chops with root vegetables, grilled entrecôte with Bordeaux sauce or mature hard cheeses such as Comté. For a regional experience, it is recommended to pair it with duck breast with pepper sauce.

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.
