2014 Lanessan 75CL
TASTING NOTES:
A strong effort in this underrated Médoc vintage, the 2014 Lanessan offers up aromas of sweet berries, cassis, tobacco leaf and undergrowth, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that has rounded out with a bit of bottle age to deliver charming drinking today. |
"In 1793, Jean Delbos, a Bordeaux wine merchant bought the property, made up at the time of 24 hectares (60 acres) of vines. It was Architect Henri Duphot who finished construction work on the present Château. Its neo-classical style is inspired by Tudor's influences. The winemaking cellar was also built.
Today, the property solicits advice from Hubert de Boüard, the owner of Château Angélus, who contributes his know-how and skills in vine husbandry in support of Paz Espejo and Eric Boissenot, the estate’s established oenologist."
