The vineyard at Château Lascombes is, at 120ha, one of the largest in Margaux and, unusually for a Left Bank château, is planted 50% to Merlot. In 2017, the grand vin contained 40% Merlot, alongside 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Aged in barrel for 18-20 months. Georgie Hindle: A dark, seductive, intense nose. Super-confident winemaking on show – a full style, well structured with plenty of impact. Gorgeous graphite, dark chocolate, sweet liquorice and cinnamon give texture and spice. Vincenzo Arnese: Good aromas of figs, prunes and dry, dark cherry. Oak gives sweet, spicy, woody aromas. Palate is powerful, with good freshness, and intense tannins. A very warm finish. Classic. Andy Howard MW: This could only be a classed growth from Bordeaux. It’s intense yet restrained. Focused. Dark fruits, with a mineral graphite edge. With fresh acidity, structured for long-term ageing, yet it’s appealing now.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation Margaux

The Margaux appellation of France's legendary Bordeaux wine region is one of the world's most famous and highly respected viticultural areas. For centuries, Margaux has been deeply associated with extremely fine wines of the highest quality, made using traditional and time-honored techniques in order to extract the very best, most refined and elegant flavors and aromas from the Bordeaux varietal grapes which grow there. Margaux wines are almost always blended, using two or three key Bordeaux grapes, commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (amongst others). The blending techniques and quantities have been passed down through the generations in the ancestral chateaus which make up the region, and quality and prestige has never been allowed to falter, making Margaux one of the undisputed jewels in France's already glittering crown.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Lascombes leaps from the glass with black raspberries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of earth, herbs, meats and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has plenty of juicy fruit and is fresh and plush, finishing long with a mineral lift.

James Suckling

Impressive ripeness for the vintage with plum and light dark-chocolate character. Ripe, creamy tannins that are polished and pretty to taste. Full-bodied, but not too much. Flavorful finish. A blend of 57% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 3% petit verdot. Drink in 2022.

Wine Enthusiast

A ripe juicy wine, this is restrained for this estate. The tannins and ripe black fruits are balanced by the acidity and elegant backdrop. It will age well, likely to be ready from 2024.

Deep purple-colored, the 2017 Chateau Lascombes offers up a rocking bouquet of blackcurrants, mocha, espresso roast, tobacco, and cedary spice. Beautifully concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and opulent even on the palate (which isn’t the case for many wines), it's beautifully balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. This is a hedonistic yet beautifully balanced, stunning 2017 that will drink nicely for 20 years or more.

The 2017 Lascombes is dark, plush and sumptuous, as it so often is. A wine with no hard edges and tons of immediacy, Lascombes will be hard to resist pretty much upon release. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice and lavender infuse the 2017 with striking depth as well as character. Readers should expect a racy, unapologetically flamboyant style.

WS 92pts

Wine Spectator

This features lots of perfume, with lilac, sandalwood, savory and bergamot notes working together, backed by a silky core of cassis and black cherry fruit. The elegant finish shows sneaky length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032. 15,833 cases made.

Winery Notes

Combining power and elegance, smoothness and tannins, Château Lascombes is a wine of great complexity. In its youth, its depth of colour never fails to impress. Finesse and softness on the palate are complemented by stylish, fine-grained tannins. Chateau Lascombes should be enjoyed as it ages over the years to enable full appreciation of its aromatic complexity and the development of its ever-more suave structure in bottle.
