As a 3ème Grand Cru Classé, it offers the pedigree and structure collectors look for, with the charm and aromatic lift that define great Margaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2017 vintage typically shows a deep ruby colour with a bright, refined edge. On the nose, expect classic Margaux character: ripe blackcurrant, plum, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, supported by a touch of graphite and toasted oak.\n\nOn the palate, Lascombes is usually supple yet structured, with silky tannins, generous dark fruit, and a fresh, lifted finish. The wine can be enjoyed now with decanting, but it also has the balance and depth to develop gracefully over the next decade or more, gaining complexity with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Bordeaux’s Margaux appellation on the Left Bank, Lascombes benefits from gravelly soils that promote drainage and encourage concentration in the grapes. The estate traditionally works with careful vineyard selection and precise vinification to preserve fruit purity, freshness, and structure, with élevage in oak contributing texture and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural match for roast lamb, entrecôte, duck breast, game birds, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for about 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Lascombes is a historic estate in Margaux and a member of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification as a 3ème Grand Cru Classé.
