Chateau Lascombes 2020
From the 17th century to the present day, ten generations of owners have succeeded and left their mark on the history of Château Lascombes. A destiny punctuated by colorful characters who have all worked for the excellence of the wines of Château Lascombes.
The Château Lascombes vineyard covers 120 hectares of vines in the Margaux appellation, as well as 10 hectares in the Haut-Médoc appellation. It is currently one of the largest vineyards of the Crus Classés of 1855.
The Château Lascombes vineyard occupies the most sought-after plots of Margaux. Château Lascombes benefits from an original variety of soils for the appellation. The vineyard is divided into three distinct groups, of roughly equivalent surface area: a gravelly hillside, which carries Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, clayey gravel where Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted, finally clay-limestone plots where Merlot expresses himself perfectly; moreover, this grape variety dominates the grape varieties of the vineyard for half, an originality compared to the other crus of Margaux.
The wines of Château Lascombes are aged in barrels for eighteen to twenty months. Using oxolin tins, the property has chosen an architectural concept that incorporates technology based on simple principles and great reliability. Close to regionalism on the outside, the interior plays a more contemporary card, in particular for the lighting of the first year cellar where no one remains indifferent to the fluorescent blue halo. In all the cellars, traditional materials offer an image that is classic, strong and sober at the same time.
