With its cool, stony edge and vivid dark-fruit core, the 2020 Chateau Lanessan shows blackcurrant and plum layered with hints of tobacco leaf, graphite and subtle spice. Medium to full in body, it feels taut and energetic, framed by chalky, upright tannins that promise added complexity with a few more years in bottle.

Château Lanessan is the classy, Cabernet Sauvignon–led grand vin of this historic Haut-Médoc estate in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, crafted from deep Garonne gravel soils that echo neighboring Saint-Julien. Typically showing an intense garnet color, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, licorice and spice, and supple yet structured tannins, it is known as an elegant, ageworthy left-bank Bordeaux with a strong sense of Médoc terroir.
