Château Lascombes Grand Cru Classé 2014

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Margaux

From the 17th century to the present day, ten owners have left their mark on the history of Château Lascombes, many of whom paid little attention to the property. Colony Capital, an American pension fund, acquired the property in 2001 and invested €35 ​​million over 9 years, which was used for a major refurbishment of the winery and vineyards. In previous years Lascombes was a serious competitor to nearby premier cru Château Margaux and quality is evidently moving in that direction again. The scattered plots of Château Lascombes rest on a mosaic of soil types, resulting in a remarkably complex and balanced wine.
