Margaux | Château Lascombes
“This vintage is the greatest Lascombes for half a century, to rival the majestic 1945.” Le Figaro
GRAPE VARIETY:
47 % Merlot, 50 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit-Verdot
Alcohol by volume: 14 %
TASTING NOTES:
Combining power and elegance, smoothness and tannins, Château Lascombes is a wine of great complexity. In its youth, its depth of colour never fails to impress. Finesse and softness on the palate are complemented by stylish, fine-grained tannins. Château Lascombes should be enjoyed as it ages over the years to enable full appreciation of its aromatic complexity and the development of its ever-more suave structure in bottle.
The nose is open and very expressive. On swirling the glass, the wine’s rich aromas come through with ripe black fruits taking center-stage. Discreet notes of oak integrate harmoniously in an explosion of fruit aromas.
The entry on the palate is flavorsome with an explosion of fruit coming through on the mid-palate. The wine is precise, concentrated, opulent and lively all at the same time. The tannins are soft and silky. The oak mingles discreetly in a lovely fleshy mouthfeel, while the finish is extremely long.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Temperature for tasting: 17°C/62°F
Cellaring until 2022 to 2044 for peak maturity
