The class of an exceptional, suave and silky Margaux wine

The property
Bearing the patronymic of Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes since the 17th century, the Château Lascombes is marked by the imprint of the ten generations of owners who have shaped its history. Since 2011, the mutualist group MACSF has been the owner. The wines of Château Lascombes are recognized as being among the greatest of the Margaux appellation.

The vineyard
120 hectares in the Margaux appellation and 10 hectares in the Haut-Médoc appellation make up the vineyard of this Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855.
This vineyard is located on a mosaic of plots whose soils are composed, depending on their location, of a gravelly mound, clayey gravels and clay-limestone plots. Uniquely compared to other Margaux crus, the grape variety of the Château Lascombes vineyard is mainly composed of merlot, then cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot.

Born at the dawn of an exceptional vintage in Bordeaux, Château Lascombes 2009 brilliantly illustrates the consistent quality of this Second Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, considered one of the most beautiful references of the prestigious Left Bank appellation.

Blend
48% merlot, 48% cabernet sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.
