The Story
Chateau Lanessan has belonged to the Bouteiller family since the 18th century. Eight generations of the same family have therefore succeeded in leading the estate. In August of 2009 Paz Espejo took over the direction of the Chateau. This change of direction corresponds to the strong commitment of the Bouteiller family to this beautiful property. "The challenge is to remain faithful to our terroir while adapting to consumer expectations. "
