Château Lascombes

It's hard to resist the charm of Château Lascombes, nestled in the heart of the Margaux appellation. It was named by its owner, Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes, in 1625.

Since then, several generations of Lascombes have succeeded one another, each contributing to the property's reputation. 

The Château Lascombes was thus crowned Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, during the famous official classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition. Having belonged to a French mutual insurance company since 2011, Château passed into the hands of the American Lawrence family in November 2022. Owners of a Domaine in Napa Valley, their aim is to continue the quest for perfection for this iconic Médoc cru.

The vineyard is located on clay gravel and clay-limestone soils, and reaches a size of 130 hectares of vines including 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 18 months for the grand vin and 16 months for the Second vin, Chevalier de Lascombes, in oak barrels, of which 70-80% is new wood for the grand vin. 

The Château Lascombes produces concentrated wines imbued with elegance, balance and undeniable pleasure.

Description Chevalier de Lascombes 2016.

Le Chevalier de Lascombes, Cadet du Château Lascombes, comes from a different selection than the Grand Vin. Nevertheless, the attention paid to the latter is quite particular, enabling us to make wines of undeniable charm. With its crimson color, the wine offers a nose marked by ripe black fruit, plum and licorice. Warm on the palate, its round structure is balanced by finely chiselled tannins. The finish is long and concentrated, ensuring good ageing potential.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
