Antonio Galloni of Vinous describes the “gorgeous” 93 pt. 2019 La Rose Perriere as “rich and yet vibrant,” the beautifully fragrant blend of mostly Merlot with Cab Franc boasting deep, sumptuous fruit and a smooth, velvety texture, while the 92 pt. 2019 Moulin de Chateau La Lagune is crafted from mostly lush, dark Cabernet Sauvignon, revealing “a lovely refinement to the fruit” according to Decanter’s Georgina Hindle with integrated, polished tannins. Described as “a total delight” by Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the 93 pt. 2018 Chateau Lanessan is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a gravel terroir matching its Second-Growth neighbor Chateau Gruaud Larose and solidly built to age well according to Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson, while the elegant 92 pt. 2019 Chateau Senejac reveals bright aromatic dark fruit with velvety tannins on “a saline, mouthwatering finish” according to the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, recommending it as a “fine effort.”

Shows tightness and focus with blackcurrant and olive character on the nose and palate. Medium body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish.

92-93 points, James Suckling (Apr 2019)

The 2018 Lanessan is deep garnet-purple colored with black cherries, cassis, mulberries and baked plums on the nose with herbs, earth and tea hints. Medium to full-bodied, it is a little chewy and herbal with the oak poking through on the finish.

89-91+ points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate (Issue # Interim - Apr 2019)

The 2018 Lanessan is a striking Haut-Médoc. Pliant, supple and inviting, the 2018 has so much to offer. Bright floral notes and soft, pliant red plum fruit give the wine tons of immediacy and pure appeal. Tasted two times.

88-91 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Apr 2019)
