The history of Château Lanessan is a family history that began a little more than two centuries ago. It all began in 1793, when Jean Delbos acquired the property and its twenty hectares of vines. Eight generations have passed through the estate, each one bringing their contribution to the establishment, until 2009, when Hubert Bouteiller retired, deciding to break with tradition and entrust the reins of the castle to his wife, Paz Espeja, in order to give the estate a new impulse.
Today, the estate of Château Lanessan covers an area of 80 hectares in one piece. The vineyard covers only a little more than half of this area, occupying a surface of 45ha of Garonne gravel. The grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
The vineyard of Château Lanessan is managed in a traditional way, respecting the environment. The property holds a level 3 High Environmental Value certification since the 2014 vintage.
