The Expression of a Second Wine from Margaux

The Estate

Bearing the patronymic of Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes since the 17th century, the Château Lascombes is marked by the imprint of the ten generations of owners who have shaped its history. Since 2011, the mutualist group MACSF has been the owner. The wines of Château Lascombes are recognized as being among the greatest of the Margaux appellation.

Chevalier de Lascombes is the Second Wine of the estate.

The Vineyard

120 hectares in the Margaux appellation make up the vineyard of this Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855. This vineyard is located on a mosaic of plots whose soils are composed, depending on their location, of a gravelly mound, clayey gravels, and clay-limestone plots.

Vinification and Aging

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo gentle vinification by infusion. Maceration of 30 to 35 days. Aging in barrels and vats.

Blend

The Chevalier de Lascombes 2019 is a blend of merlot (50%) and cabernet sauvignon (50%).
