Château Lascombes 2016

Château Lascombes, 2ème Grand Cru Classé from 1855, is one of the most distinctive estates of the Margaux appellation. Its large terroir combines three soil types – deep gravel rises, clay-limestone soils and clay parcels – offering exceptional diversity and ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This mix produces wines of impressive density, dark fruit, structured yet supple tannins and typical Margaux elegance. Following extensive modernisation in both vineyard and cellar, Lascombes now shows clear precision, intense aromatics and a powerful yet harmonious style. The estate is among the appellation’s most reliable and characterful crus.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
