- Terroir: The gravelly soils of Margaux, bathed by the Garonne, impart a mineral elegance and a unique aromatic finesse to the wines.
- Vinification: A meticulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and complementary grape varieties, aged to reveal the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Château Lascombes 1996
To the eye: A deep garnet red robe with brick-red reflections, of a silky and luminous texture.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry, candied mandarin, and soft spices, lifted by a touch of licorice and a subtle chalky minerality.
On the palate: A broad and velvety attack, carried by a lively acidity and a melted tannic structure, giving way to a long, saline finish marked by notes of tobacco and cocoa.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
