Chateau Lascombes Margaux 2. Cru Classé 2021 i trækasse

”96 points. Excellent length and multi-layrered finish. A great 2021" - Markus Del Monego, MW

World Class Margaux 2. Grand Cru Classé til yderst konkurrencedygtig pris!

Siden den fornemme klassifikation som 2. Grand Cru Classé i 1855 har Margaux-kæmpen Château Lascombes gennemgået en lang række ejerskifter, hvilket ikke altid har været til gavn for kvaliteten og den røde tråd i fremstillingsprocessen.

Over de seneste årtier er Lascombes kommet tilbage på sporet.  Via massive investeringer fra vinmark til vinkælder, og via det tætte samarbejde med den verdensberømte ønolog Michel Rolland, høster Lascombes nu igen ratings, som er en 2. Grand Cru Classé værdig.    

Leveres i original trækasse ved køb af 6 flasker.

Anmeldelser af Chateau Lascombes Marguax 2.Cru Classé 2021

96/100 Markus Del Monego, Master of Wine
"Almost rich style with freshness, ripe tannins, excellent length and multi-layrered finish. A great 2021"

“Engaging and decidedly wise in its mixed and compound sensory profile, it recalls fruits, flowers, spices and herbs. China, graphite and juniper berries provide the framework. Full body, dense and dense tannins decidedly well extracted and a finish of excellent taste persistence. Splendid. ”

"A tight, full-bodied Lascombes that shows nice extraction and concentration. A haze of oak spices and espresso on top of the black currants, blackberries, dark olives, graphite and black bean puree. Pretty broad, vertical and structured for the vintage and it needs a few years to unwind."

93-94/100 Andrew Caillard, Master of Wine
"Deep crimson. Intense blackcurrant, dark plum fruits with cedar/ brambly noes. Velvety smooth with attractive blackcurrant, dark plum, chinotto flavours, fine loose-knit grainy/ al dente textures and underlying vanilla oak. Builds up firm with crunchy fruit notes. Should develop very well. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 5% petit verdot. 18 months in 60% new French oak. 13.5% alc"

92-94+/100 The Drinks Business
“Ah, yes, Lascombes – it is immediately very familiar. One tunes in first to that signature wisteria and mimosa floral element, dried rose petals and parfumier’s violets too. Then we have the complex and, again, rather distinct fruit profile – black and sour cherries, brambles and mulberries, with a hint of grated dark chocolate (here more a spice that a source of sweetness) and liquorice root (similarly). This is cool and soft on the entry, with very refined tannins, the new wine-making facility seemingly taking this to a new level in terms of finesse. Lovely black cracked peppercorns and Asiatic spices bring further interest and detail. Overall, this is very balanced, harmonious and refined. The oak is less prevalent and the chewy grape-skin finish is long and gracious. 92-94+.”

92-94/100 Antonio Galloni
"The 2021 Lascombes is a dense, plush Margaux, but also not quite as pushed as in the past. That's a good thing. A burst of ink blue/purplish fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha are front and center. As always, Lascombes is a pretty flamboyant wine, but it is also very nicely done. There is plenty to admire. Tasted two times."

92-94/100 Alexandre Ma
"Lascombes 2021 is still as ripe and pronounced as ever. Compared to the other wineries in Margaux, Lascombes demonstrates richer fruity aromas in 2021, with its classic spicy scents of licorice and cinnamon, and the fragrance of mulberry and blackcurrant. The tannins extracted by the gentle R’Pulse method integrate naturally and smoothly into the toasty aromas, emitting some ripe and rich smells from inside out. The tannins on the finish are still powerful, compared to the relatively dried aftertaste in hot vintages, I prefer the gentle expression of the 2021. I am counting the days until Lascombes presents us its unique and impressive "stilt dancing" performance in the future."

93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2021 Château Lascombes is deep ruby/plum-hued and reveals beautiful aromatics of red and black currants, smoked tobacco, graphite, and integrated oak, with a kiss of violet and flowers emerging with air. It's medium-bodied and has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, rock-solid mid-palate depth, and ripe tannins, with its oak and acidity both beautifully integrated. This is one classy, seamless, yet relatively serious Margaux that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly over the following decade. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in French oak. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes.”

93/100 Falstaff
“Opaque ruby core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Dark berries, a touch of figs, hints of nougat and pleasing wood spices on the nose. Juicy palate with good complexity, dark cherry fruit, integrated, ripe tannins and hints of chocolate on the finish. Generous length with great potential to age elegantly.”

Château Lascombes 2. Grand Cru Classé 2021 er skabt på 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot og 5% Petit Verdot, som høstes manuelt fra topslottets grusbanker i Margaux. Druerne fragtes nænsomt til vineriet i små 10 kilos beholdere. Her følger en streng dobbeltsortering, før og efter afstilkningen, inden druernes knuses let og koldmacererer 10 dage ved 8°C for ekstra udtræk af farve og aromaer. Gæringen er påbegyndt 5. oktober og afsluttet 2. november 2021, og macerationstiden strækker sig hele 35 dage med jævnlige overpumpninger, der stræakker farve, smag og tanniner fra drueskindet. Efter gæringen omstikkes Lascombes til 18 måneders modning i kontakt med gærresterne på franske 225 liters barriquefade, heraf 60 % helt nye. Under ledelse af Michel rolland placeres fadene i et såkaldt ”Oxoline rack system”, hvor omrøringen af gærresterne sker ved rotation af fadene uden unødig iltpåvirkning.
