Chateau Lascombes Margaux 2022

On its hillside at the entrance to Margaux, in the heart of the Medoc, Chateau Lascombes is a Second Great Growth in the 1855 classification. With origins dating back to 1681, the estate has a long history, characterized by pioneering owners, and a terroir of 115 hectares of vines that is recognized as one of the finest in the world for wine production. Since 2022, an ambitious family-oriented renewal has been underway with new owner Gaylon Lawrence, Jr., a lover of Bordeaux wines, and Axel Heinz, a highly respected winemaker who excelled in Tuscany for almost twenty years The Lascombes range of wines reflects the incomparable diversity of the estate's terroirs. A collector's Grand Vin, predominantly Cabernet-Sauvignon from gravelly soils, refocused on the historic terroir, offers a graceful, powerful expression of the classic Bordeaux style. The second wine - Chevalier de Lascombes - presents the freshness and vibrant fruit so dear to Margaux lovers. A new single-terroir Merlot, La Cote - Lascombes, embodies the estate's ambitious renewal and breaks with any notion of the status quo. The terroir of La Cote features a thin layer of clay on a limestone slab, with veins of blue clay, which is a signature of the greatest Merlot terroirs and delivers depth, finesse and intensity. "The idea is to keep Lasombes true to its terroir but to redefine its character and identity in the context of modern Bordeaux." - Axel Heinz
