The complexity and elegance of a great Margaux

Margaux's Second Great Classified Growth, Chateau Lascombes has shown that its vintages continue to improve in quality year after year. The wines are distinguished by their personality and consistency, so the estate was classified as one of the first Second Classified Growths on the Left Bank in the Bordeaux region.

The blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (57%), Merlot (40%) and Petit Verdot (3%). The Chateau Lascombes 2017 displays all the character and noble complexity of the finest Margaux. It is perfectly accessible in its early years, but it will evolve with the grace and refinement typical of Margaux wines.

Expert Reviews

Oaky, round, dense, smoky and forward, this is decidedly modern in character, texture and style. The black cherries, licorice, espresso, smoke and oak will be much better when they meld together. 91

Winery Tasting Notes

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Lascombes leaps from the glass with black raspberries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of earth, herbs, meats and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has plenty of juicy fruit and is fresh and plush, finishing long with a mineral lift.

Winery Profile

2eme Cru Classe, Margaux

Since the 17th century, there have been ten successive generations of owners, each of them leaving their own particular mark on the history of Château Lascombes. Along the way, there have been many colourful characters, and all of them have sought to attain the highest levels of excellence in the wines of Château Lascombes.

In 1952, Alexis Lichine, both château owner and Bordeaux merchant, and an excellent taster widely respected by his peers, bought the château and completely overhauled it. Under his leadership, the estate enjoyed a golden era, and its renown spread around the world. Writing several works on wine and travelling widely, he sought passionately to make Château Lascombes a wine of the very highest order.

DOMINIQUE BEFVE

A man of experience and a highly-reputed winemaker, Dominique Befve took charge of Château Lascombes in 2001. His years spent previously at great estates such as Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac paved the way for his future post at Château Lascombes. Under his management, the vineyard was restructured, and the wine-making methods were completely rethought, leading to the introduction of more modern, high-performing wine-making equipment.

MACSF

In 2011, the MACSF became the new owners when they bought Château Lascombes from Colony Capital. They immediately sought to take the quality of the wines to even greater heights and thereby gain permanent recognition for the fine work begun by the estate’s first owners. Marcel Kahn, MACSF’s General Manager, is today the Managing.

A bit of a drag queen with its fruity character and outgoing nature, the wine is round and flashy. The fruit is ripe and sweet, damp with warm earth, tobacco and licorice. Made from blending 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, this is the first vintage in recent times made from a Cabernet dominated blend. The wine is aging in 50% new, French oak barrels, which is a choice I hope they stick with, as the wines in the past often suffered from too much oak. 91
