The finesse and smoothness of an exceptional Margaux
Château Lascombes is a true icon of the prestigious Margaux appellation. It is a Second Classified Growth with a style that distinguishes itself among the most beautiful benchmarks on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region.
The Château Lascombes 2010 is a blend of Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) and Petit Verdot (5%). It reflects the complexity of an exceptional terroir that highlights the expertise of the estate’s technical team in the vineyard and in the winery.
The Château Lascombes 2010 is a wine that has a brilliant black colour of great depth. In its youth, the nose is subtle that develops into an admirable bouquet of ripe red fruit (red and white cherry) and delicate notes of mocha and even chocolate. The palate offers a fresh first impression with creamy sensations, and then reveals tannins of extreme finesse to give a silky mouthfeel. Power, finesse and roundness are all in perfect balance. The Château Lascombes 2010 stretches in length to give a persistent and deliciously aromatic finish. This is an exceptionally round and smooth Margaux in a modern style.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Lascombes gives up notes of dried herbs, tilled soil and black olives over a blackcurrant cordial and plums preserves core plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers chewy tannins and bold freshness to support the savory flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
