Country: France Region: Bordeaux (Haut Médoc)
Varietal: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon / 36% Merlot / 4% Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2012 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: Chateau Lanessan
Description:
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.
