Château Lascombes' history begins with the Chevalier de Lascombes who founded the estate in the 17th century. In the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux the Château was ranked as a Deuxième Cru, or 2nd Growth. The estate has had its share of important owners, especially in the 20th century when the famed Alexis Lichine took over control of the estate. Throughout the 1990's and 2000's extensive research was done to isolate the best plots of vines and modernize the vineyards and the cellar. The results have been spectacular.
The vineyards of Château Lascombes stretch over 112 hectares on the gravelly soils of Margaux, one of the largest vineyards of the Classified Growths, planted to 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine is matured 14-20 months in one-third new French oak.

Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2020 Château Lascombes is clearly another brilliant wine from this château that readers will love. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as a classic bouquet of cassis, dried flowers, freshly sharpened pencils, and obvious minerality, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, lots of building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need 4-6 years at a minimum but is some serious Margaux brilliance that will have 30 years of longevity.
