The Classic Claret: Château Lanessan, Haut-Médoc
Château Lanessan is a celebrated estate in the Haut-Médoc, widely regarded for producing wines that punch well above their weight, offering Cru Classé finesse at a Cru Bourgeois price. The property, with its distinctive Tudor-inspired architecture and horse museum, is steeped in history and tradition, located just a stone’s throw from the lauded terroir of Saint-Julien.
Tasting Profile (Classic Vintage)
- Appearance: Deep, intense ruby-purple.
- Bouquet: An elegant and complex nose, revealing layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry, seasoned with refined notes of cedarwood, cigar box, and a touch of sweet spice.
