Chateau Lanessan 1931

Chateau Lanessan 1931An incredibly rare vintage to find. From a time when business was in a slump. The growing season was particularly wet, but some sun during the first week of the harvest improved the situation a little. I have always found Lanessan to be a consistently good Medoc wine. The next year it was awarded Cru Bourgeois Superieur. Typical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. 75cl bottle. Abv not stated. Bottle condition, capsule has

Great ageing potential

75cl bottle Abv 11

Rare to find in magnums

Musar corks can be problematic and the estate themselves suggest using prongs rather than a cork screw 2001 seems to be particularly susepatable to them breaking

but the best wines have turned out better than first thought

The next year it was awarded Cru Bourgeois Superieur

Château Bélair can  trace its origins back to Roman times

Bottle condition very good

The 1987 vintage suffers for following two and preceding three very good vintages

148cl magnum bottle

Most houses concentrated on non vintage blends

The estate was ranked a fourth growth in the 1855 classification
