As the second wine of Margaux Second Growth Château Lascombes, the 2021 Chevalier de Lascombes reflects the refined, floral character intrinsic to the appellation's deep gravel and clay-limestone soils. The 2021 growing season yielded a classic, cooler-climate profile, allowing for precise expression of fruit purity alongside bright, structural acidity.
Vinified with temperature-controlled extraction and aged in French oak barriques, this bottling delivers immediate approachability while maintaining the estate's signature weight and polished texture. It serves as an accessible, technically precise entry into modern Margaux winemaking, balancing supple Merlot fruit with classic Bordeaux restraint.
Tasting notes
Aromas of dark plum, cassis, and fresh violets are complemented by subtle cedar, graphite, and dried herbs. On the palate, mid-weight black fruits are framed by fine, chalky tannins and energetic acidity, finishing with persistent nuances of cocoa and toasted oak.
