Good to know: The Château Lascombes have been succeeded by ten generations of owners since the 17th century. All who have contributed to the excellence of Château Lascombes. The wines are aged in barrels for 18 to 20 months in Oxoline barrel racks. The estate has adapted to times and used highly dependable technology based on simple principles. It is located in Margaux in Bordeaux, France and divided into three grape types: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
A gorgeous example of Lascombes, the 2005, a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, continues the remarkable turn-around in quality that began five years ago. A stunningly opulent wine with a dense purple color, the 2005 possesses a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and graphite, full body, silky but noticeable tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and a stunning, 45+-second finish. This is a brilliant, modern-styled Margaux that should age for 30-35 years.
