Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
With a nice depth of color, you find smoke, grilled meat, spice, currant and tobacco notes on the nose before moving to all the round, rich, supple textured red fruits and ripe, chewy tannins.

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Medium/full bodied with a touch of oak, you also find black currant, cedar and tobacco notes. On the palate, the wine is round, juicy and fresh with a sweet, red fruit core of fruit from start to finish. There is some tannin giving this structure, so while it offers charm, it is going to need some cellaring before it hits its peak.. 7,481 Views Tasted Sep 21, 2019Made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this medium/full-bodied wine is full of luscious fruits with silky tannins, juicy cassis, plums and tobacco.

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Medium-bodied, fresh, and vibrant with a core of ripe, smoky currants, espresso, herbs, tobacco leaf, and red plums, Round and almost fleshy, the red fruits in the finish are soft and sweet, but a bit short. Drink from 2022-2035. 3,845 Views Tasted Sep 6, 2022Earthy, tobacco driven, dark red fruits with a rustic type of charm, although the wine seems cleaner, fresher and a bit softer than in previous vintages. Much of that credit for the improvement in the wine belongs to bringing in Hubert de Bouard as their consultant starting with the 2015 vintage. 88 - 90 Pts 6,855 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2016 |

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Bright rustic, austere and on the lean, crisp, cherry side, the nose, with its earthy, tobacco and cassis leaning, was much better than the palate. 3,513 Views Tasted May 7, 2015 |

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Firm, bright, crisp and tannic, this is not much fun to drink today. Perhaps time will soften the strict tannins and add more to the very, fresh fruit and tobacco character. 4,772 Views Tasted Oct 19, 2017 |

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Tobacco, old wood, cassis, green herbs, medium bodied with a rustic hard texture that ends with tart cherry and cranberry. I suspect this will age and continue to evolve in the same direction. 8,483 Views Tasted Feb 21, 2012 |

Château Lanessan (Haut-Médoc)
Wines like this prove why all of us should drink wines blind more often. While not the best old wine I've ever had, I was blown away by how good this small property was at close to 50 years of age. Still some structure and depth to the old girl, even if the wine was a little tart and slightly thin in the finish. Lots of barnyard in the nose along with wet forest notes 3,018 Views Tasted Dec 1, 2008 |
