WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Lanessan undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete tanks, utilizing techniques such as pumping over and rack and return. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new, one-year-old, and two-year-old barrels. Grapes are harvested mechanically and sorted optically. The estate is committed to environmental management and preserving biodiversity.
