Château Lanessan 2020 Haut Médoc - 12 x 750ml Bottles Description
Presents a captivating aromatic profile with classic Médoc character. The nose reveals elegant cigar box notes layered with subtle spice, drawing you into a wine of considerable depth.
On the palate, this wine delivers a textured, fleshy experience dominated by ripe plum fruit with distinctive aniseed undertones. The mouthfeel is generous and well-structured, with fine tannins that provide excellent aging potential whilst remaining approachable now.
The wine's complexity stems from its blend of 30-year-old vines planted on gravelly soils - primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot. Meticulous winemaking practices, including manual sorting and temperature-controlled fermentation in concrete vats, have preserved the fruit's purity and enhanced its natural structure through extended maceration.
This is a wine drinking beautifully in its youth, yet possessing the backbone for further development.
The balance between fruit richness and elegant tannin architecture makes it versatile with food, particularly suited to roasted meats and game.
