CHÂTEAU LANESSAN

2019 Cru Bourgeois Haut Médoc

Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
Sub-district Haut Médoc
Classification Cru Bourgeois
ABV 13%

The 2019 Lanessan has a more understated bouquet, albeit well-defined and fresh. A subtle marine influence merges with the black fruit scents, just a touch of undergrowth surfacing. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, plenty of concentration here, more depth and muscle than its peers, if slightly less precision on the finish. Still a very decent wine. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Drinking range: 2025 - 2042 Rating: 89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)

The 2019 Lanessan is a powerful, deep wine. Grilled herbs, pepper, sage, mint and tobacco lend notable aromatic intensity. The Cabernet is especially marked here. Lanessan is pretty assertive in 2019. There is quite a bit of Cabernet savoriness and tannin. Drinking range: 2024 - 2034 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2022)

The 2019 Lanessan has a very perfumed bouquet, much more floral than I recollect from barrel, featuring vibrant black fruit and touches of licorice in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, those strong tobacco and bell pepper notes still coming through, and moderate weight. As I suggested before, I would have liked more personality on the finish, which feels a little abrupt. Drinking range: 2024 - 2038 Rating: 89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2022)

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.
