History of Ch. Lanessan is exceptional - from 1310 until today it has belonged to just two families. It was owned by the descendants of Henry de Lanessan until 1793, when it was bought by Bordeaux wine merchant Jean Delbos. At that time, the vineyards covered 24 hectares.
Lanessan has always had an excellent reputation and in 1814 was ranked as a 4th cru in terms of quality . Unfortunately for the château, in 1855 the then owner Louis Delbos refused to give samples to the Paris Exhibition, thus excluding Lanessan from the future Grand Cru Classé classification in which it would otherwise have been included.
In 1878, the reconstruction of the neoclassical château and the cellar used for vinification began. In the 1960s, a descendant of the original owners , Jean Bouteiller, expanded the vineyards to an area of 80 hectares.
Vines for wine with the Ch. Lanessan vines mature on 45 hectares of this area. The vineyards are located on one complete parcel in the Haut Médoc appellation, adjacent to the St. Julien appellation.
Since 1999, a second wine , Les Calèches de Lanessan, has been produced. In 2004, the grape sorting was improved with its own two-stage system. In 2010, further progress was made in the vineyard with soil analyses, and progressive methods were introduced in the cellar for vinification and wine training.

Lanessan has relied on rigorous sorting to produce higher quality, more concentrated musts. It succeeded - built for classic lovers, with a nice mélange of flavours and surprising persistence.

Château Lanessan

The history of Château Lanessan is remarkable—it has been owned by just two families since 1310. Until 1793, it was owned by the descendants of Henry de Lanessan, after which it was purchased by Bordeaux wine merchant Jean Delbos. At that time, the vineyard covered 24 hectares compared to today's 80 hectares.

Lanessan has always had an excellent reputation and was ranked among the fourth growths in 1814. Unfortunately for this château, in 1855, the then-owner Louis Delbos refused to submit samples for the Paris exhibition, excluding Lanessan from the future Grand Cru Classé classification, where it would have otherwise been included.

The vines for the wine labeled Château Lanessan ripen on 45 hectares of this area. The vineyards are located on a single contiguous parcel in the Haut-Médoc appellation, adjacent to the St. Julien appellation.

Since 1999, a second wine, Les Calèches de Lanessan, has been produced. In 2004, grape sorting was improved with its own two-stage system. In 2010, further progress was made in vineyard work thanks to soil analysis, and progressive methods were introduced in the cellar for vinification and wine aging.
