Château Lanessan – Haut-Médoc – Red – 2020:

 

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.
• Taste: The palate is generous and well-defined, built on a firm but polished tannic structure. It has excellent depth of fruit, a balanced acidity, and a persistent, classic claret finish that promises superb aging potential.

Food Match & Decanting

We recommend decanting younger bottles for up to two hours. Serve slightly cool at 16-18°C.

Dedicated Food Matches: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank, Venison Pie with Puff Pastry, Mature Stilton or Cheddar.
