This Château Lascombes 1996, 2ème Grand Cru Classé, showcases the gravelly soils of Margaux. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot compose this wine with notes of dark fruits and vanilla, aged in oak barrels. Dense and mineral, it pairs beautifully with game or poultry through 2030.
Nestled at the heart of the Margaux appellation, this Médoc estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for nearly two centuries, combining tradition and precision.
- Terroir : Gravelly and clay-limestone soils, typical of Margaux, impart a mineral elegance and a unique aromatic finesse to the wines.
- Vinification : A rigorous selection of grape varieties and a mastered aging process reveal cuvées with a silky structure and a persistent length.
Tasting notes for Château Lascombes 1996
To the eye – A deep garnet robe with brick-red reflections, of a velvety density that heralds a generous and well-preserved substance.
On the nose – Aromas of wild blackberry, candied blackcurrant, and cedar mingle with notes of blonde tobacco and licorice, underlined by a discreet saline touch.
On the palate – A silky texture envelops a fine and precise tannic framework, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, delivering a long and harmonious finish.
Serve at 16°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its expression.
