BEHIND THE WINE

The Grand Vin of Château Lanessan, a magnificent property built in 1878 located in the Haut-Médoc, on the left bank of Bordeaux immediately south of Saint-Julien . During the early 19th Century it was considered unofficially as one of the Fourth Growth estates of the Médoc, being named specifically in an 1815 copy of the Bordeaux directory Cocks & Féret. Lanessan, however, did not submit any wines to be classified in 1855, confident that its reputation was already secure.
