Haut-Médoc

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Lanessan slowly emerges from the glass with soft-spoken notes of fresh plums and mulberries followed by hints of Provence herbs, lavender, and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played and verges on lean, offering lightly chewy tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing on a mineral note.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Deep ruby plum, medium intensity, attractive vivid purple around the rim, with cloves and spiced rosemary on the opening, soft berry fruits, plenty of promise but the tannins close things down pretty quickly through the mid palate.

Inside Bordeaux

Firm slightly drying tannins, grilled smoked leather, fleshy blackberry and raspberry fruit. The tannins close things in on the close of play, narrowing through the palate, emphasising bitter orange and saffron, with slate and liquorice. Struggles to gain balance, but it gets there, and is a well constructed wine with Left Bank signature. 33% new oak barrels for ageing.

Attractive aromatics, this is sappy, a touch of smoke, well handled, high spice, bright and breezy, good quality. Owned by the Bouteiller family, Eric Boissenot consultant, harvest September 22 to October 12.

The 2020 Lanessan is deep garnet-purple in color. It springs from the glass with notions of redcurrants, kirsch, and baked plums, plus hints of Provence herbs and Ceylon tea. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing and light on its feet with delicate flavors and an herbal lift on the finish.

45ha on the outskirts of St Julien, making some of the best value wines on the Médoc peninsula. This is a great 2019, really one to look out for, good value and full of blackberry and black cherry fruits, polished with muscular frame, can easily last another decade or more. Eric Boissenot consultant. Last vintage under Paz Espejo, with new director Pierre Delage overseeing the final stages of ageing and bottling. An upscore from En Primeur.

The 2018 Lanessan is deep garnet purple in color. It delivers notes of juicy black plums and crème de cassis, with touches of menthol, cumin seed, and dried roses. Medium-bodied, the palate has impressive intensity and firm, ripe tannins, leading to a refreshingly savory finish. Nice!

Amatør

Solbær, røde plommer, krydder, blyantspiss og et hint av sedertre på duft.

Smak av røde bjørnebær, plommer, og integrerte kryddertoner. Pen syre og strukturerte tanniner. 

Expert

Rubinrød farge. Dufter av mørke bær, lærsadel, skog, sopp, hint av cassis, blyant og mørk lettkrydret te. God fylde med fin syre. Noe avslipte tanniner. Middels pluss lengde.

En utviklet og kompleks Bordeaux til en god pris. Duft av solbær, sedertre, krydder, tobakk og jordlighet. Middels fyldig med god syre. Bløte tanniner og utviklet jordlig frukt med preg av krydder og sedertre.

Sommelier

Kraftig, muligens drukket noen år for sent. Dyp rød farge, kraftig smak av røde bær. 

Tobakk, tjære, lær. Fortsatt fin frukt. Utviklet og avslepne tanniner. Balansert. Lang.

A non-classified wine from an almost 60 year old often-forgotten vintage shouldn't hold out much hope for an enjoyable tasting experience, but this is drinking beautifully right now. Melted tannins, finessed wild strawberry and blackberry fruits with flecks of mandarin, tobacco and saffron, this is delicate, with a cushion of air, still delivering. Not ex-château, but exceptional storage conditions may have helped, as might its location on the borders of St Julien, but I would say definitely worth tracking down, as there are numerous wines that are still going strong from 1967. Lanessan in 1967 was owned by the Bouteiller family (as was Pichon Baron at the time), as it was until 2022, when bought by Treasury Wine Estates.
