[Chateau Lanessan 2017]

James Suckling rating: 90/100

The Château Lanessan vineyard has belonged to the Bouteiller family since the 18th century.There have already been eight generations of succession.Its wines are the result of particularly precise and meticulous winemaking techniques and are renowned for their elegance.Today, Château Lanessan has become one of the best estates in Haut-Médoc.Its wine quality is superior and it is well-known in the Bordeaux region. However, during the establishment of the 1855 classification system, the estate owner Louis Delbos missed the opportunity because he did not send in a sample for consideration.The famous wine critic Robert Parker once said, "This is an outstanding wine from the Haut Medoc region."If this wine had participated in the 1855 classification, it should have been listed as a "Fifth Growth."Later, in 1878, André Delbos officially established Chateau Lanessan, which is located in the Haut-Medoc region, in contrast to the well-known second growth estate Gruaud-Larose.

"Chateau Lanessan 2017 has a deep garnet-purple color, layered with tobacco and new leather over a base of smoky cherries, mulberries, and blackcurrants, exuding a subtle Mediterranean herbaceous aroma; it has a medium body, firm and chewy, with a good core and fruitiness."
