Producer

Producer

The Château Lascombes vineyard spans 50 hectares, benefiting from an exceptional terroir characterized by clay-gravel soils. These conditions promote optimal grape ripening, allowing the full aromatic richness of the cultivated grape varieties to express itself. The region's oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, also contributes to the quality of the harvest, guaranteeing healthy and concentrated grapes. Each plot is carefully tended to respect the natural balance, reflecting the estate's philosophy.

Owner and history

Today, Château Lascombes is managed by the Chevalier family, who acquired the estate in 2001. Their commitment to excellence and sustainability has revitalized the vineyard while respecting its heritage. By combining modern techniques with centuries-old traditions, they aim to produce wines that embody the authenticity of Margaux. The passion and dedication of this family are evident in every bottle, demonstrating a desire to showcase the Bordeaux terroir far beyond its borders.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Lascombes is a delicate process that blends tradition and modernity. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature management. Maceration is lengthy to extract color and tannins. Aging, which lasts approximately 18 months, occurs in oak barrels, 60% of which are new, imparting complexity and structure to the wine. This meticulous expertise is reflected in the richness and elegance of Lascombes' wines.
