Château Lascombes 2010 represents a benchmark expression from this Second Growth Margaux estate during a legendary Left Bank vintage. Unusually for the appellation, the blend incorporates a generous proportion of Merlot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, yielding a cuvée defined by both opulent fruit concentration and structural rigor.
Sourced from gravelly clay and limestone terraces, the fruit underwent parcel-by-parcel vinification before maturing in new French oak barrels for nearly 20 months. The result is a profoundly layered wine showing immaculate integration of polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and well-judged wood framing built for extended cellaring.
Tasting notes
Extremely dark, saturated garnet in the glass. The bouquet opens with concentrated crème de cassis, dark plum compote, graphite, and cedar, accented by subtle violet floral notes characteristic of top-tier Margaux. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, showcasing muscular yet fine-grained tannins, ripe black fruit depth, and a long, cocoa- and espresso-tinged finish.
