Sturdy and staid Chateau Lanessan had been solely in the hands of the Bouteiller family for 8 generations when, in time for the 2009 harvest, they introduced a new manager and winemaker. Unusual for Bordeaux, she is not only not French, she is a she. Paz Espejo has breathed incredible life into this storied estate, producing a serious string of vintages: classic wines of serious depth, agability and balance.
