Château Lanessan, Tudor-style castle with gardens in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, France

Château Lanessan is a wine estate in Cussac-Fort-Médoc whose château was built in 1878 by André Delbos in a mock-Tudor style, with cellars in the traditional Médoc manner. The label of its 1996 Haut-Médoc grand vin shows a black-and-white drawing of a turreted castle between trees, above the name Delbos-Bouteiller.

The castle was designed and built in 1878 by architect Henri Duphot, establishing the estate as it stands today. The Bouteiller family has maintained ownership of the property through multiple generations.

The stables built in 1885 now house the Musée du Cheval, devoted to the estate's long use of horses. The second wine, Les Calèches de Lanessan ("Carriages of Lanessan"), produced since 1999, takes its name from these carriages. The label of the grand vin shows a castle with turrets between trees.

Visitors should book guided tours and wine tastings in advance by phone to ensure availability. The estate is situated conveniently near Bordeaux wine country for easy access.

The stables that now house the Musée du Cheval were built in 1885, seven years after the mock-Tudor château itself. The second wine, Les Calèches de Lanessan, launched in 1999, takes its name from these carriages and keeps the estate's link with horses in the bottle.
