  • Antonio Galloni, April 2023, Score: 90-92

    The 2022 Lascombes is a bold, sumptuous wine. Inky dark fruit, cloves, chocolate and copious French oak fill out the layers. Soft contours wrap it all together. As always, Lascombes is done in a flamboyant style. It will be interesting to see the direction new Estate Manager Axel Heinz takes when he assumes his post this summer. Tasted two times. Drink 2027-2042.

  • Goedhuis, April 2023, Score: 93-95

    An enticing scent of blackberry and apple fruit crumble with a fresh boysenberry bouquet. A modern style of wine, with toasty oak and Moroccan spice, liquorice and layers of sweet black fruits. The chewy tannins sit in harmony with the depth of rich fruit, giving a strong persistence on the finish.

  • James Suckling, April 2023, Score: 93-94

    A more refined and focused Lascombes with blackcurrant, graphite, stone and blueberry character. Medium body. Polished finish. Needs a little more at the finish to be in the big leagues.

  • Jeb Dunnuck, April 2023, Score: 93-95

    The 2022 Château Lascombes is a ripe, powerful wine that holds onto a terrific sense of purity and freshness. Black fruits, smoky oak, lead pencil, and tobacco all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. A killer bottle of wine, it’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring. Tasted twice.

    Château Lascombes (2ème Cru Margaux) 67 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot, 3 Petit Verdot 60% new oak 14% alc 36 hl/ha Herbal, oaky and unusually tannic, this is a rather unexpected Lascombes and while the fruit is rich and imposing, the other elements conspire to keep it under wraps! There is a somewhat spicy note 17 throughout, which is also rather strange, and so rather than dismiss it on first tasting, I tasted it again and this time the anti-fruit notes sat further back in the flavour allowing the fruit to stand proud. This is a heady wine and the oak is firm, but it is built for the long run and it will not disappoint.

Château Lascombes

Château Lascombes, bears the name of its first owner, Chevalier de Lascombes, who was born in 1625. Bought by Alexis Lichine in 1952, he rennovated the château's vineyard and cellars. In 1971 he sold the estate to the British brewer Bass-Charrington. The estate then passed on to Colony Capital in 2001.

Château Lascombes, bears the name of its first owner, Chevalier de Lascombes, who was born in 1625. Bought by Alexis Lichine in 1952, he rennovated the château's vineyard and cellars. In 1971 he sold the estate to the British brewer Bass-Charrington. The estate then passed on to Colony Capital in 2001. With this new ownership, the slightly unloved estate has again blossomed, due to strict selection methods and more labour intensive vinification. Yves Vatelot (of Reignac) and Alain Raynaud (of Quinault) have been consulting, and the jump in quality is impressive. The vineyards are planted with vines of an average age of 40 years with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. For ageing, 80-100% new oak barriques are used, depending on the character of the vintage.Read less

Region

Margaux

Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
