Description

Château Lascombes is one of the most distinguished estates in Bordeaux's Margaux appellation, holding the prestigious Second Growth classification in the 1855 Classification. Dating back to the 17th century, the château takes its name from the Knight of Lascombes, one of its early owners. Its extensive vineyards benefit from a diverse terroir of gravel, clay and limestone soils, ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Known for producing generous, richly textured wines with ripe black fruit, refined tannins and elegant structure, Lascombes combines the power of Bordeaux with the sophistication characteristic of Margaux. From the 17th century to the modern day, ten generations of owners have succeeded each other and left their stamp upon the history of Château Lascombes. A destiny paved along its way with colourful characters, who all contributed to the excellence of the wines of Château Lascombes.

Château Lascombes vineyard covers 120 hectares. 

Tasting Notes

Aromas of crushed blackcurrants and cherries with dried Provence herbs, lavender, raw walnuts and spiced cedar. Graphite, too. Full and muscular with a broad-shouldered, velvety tannin structure that goes on for minutes. Textured and chalky with a lingering finish. Very polished. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 5% petit verdot. Try after 2027.
James Suckling 95pts

The 2020 Lascombes has a discrete, finely delineated bouquet that unfolds in the glass with blackberry, bilberry, crushed violet and a touch of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with sour cherry and brown spices on the entry. It's drier than expected with espresso notes on the finish. Although the nose has more pedigree than the palate, this does need time and is superior to many vintages from the previous decade. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. 2027 - 2040
