Château Lascombes i historisk topform... Det her er 97-points 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 har massive investeringer fra vinmark til vinkælder i den grad bragt Lascombes tilbage på sporet. Og takket være 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 Château Lascombes Margaux 2. Grand Cru Classé 2020

97/100 Markus Del Monego, Master of Wine
“Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Sophisticated nose with complex aroma reminiscent of ripe blackcurrants, blackcurrant spurs, sweet blackberries and hints of ripe blueberries. In the background oriental spices and floral hints reminiscent of roses and Darjeeling leaf. On the palate expressive and well balanced with silky tannins, juicy fruit, elegant spiciness, subtle oak and fine toasting, creating a wonderful mouthfeel and an excellent length.”

“Elegant and refined showing notes of lavender, hibiscus, guaranà, linden, lemon, citron, pink grapefruit and pomegranate. Medium bodied, well extracted perfectly mature tannins and a finish which will come out over time but already shows its true quality. “

«One of the château's most remarkable successes. Generous on the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with a finish that brings a welcome breath of freshness. The overall structure is well-aligned, ensuring excellent aging potential for this wine, which is more vibrant than ever.”

95-96/100 Izak Litwar, Great Bordeaux Wines
“It had a sensual and aromatic nose of grilled bacon and coffee beans, great elegance and finesse, a powerful, sophisticated touch, silky berries, and very finely-grained tannin. It's authentic and classy Margaux wine, as it can be! Wonderfully captivating effort.”

95/100 James Suckling
“Aromas of crushed blackcurrants and cherries with dried Provence herbs, lavender, raw walnuts and spiced cedar. Graphite, too. Full and muscular with a broad-shouldered, velvety tannin structure that goes on for minutes. Textured and chalky with a lingering finish. Very polished. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot and 5% petit verdot.” 

95/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2020 Château Lascombes is clearly another brilliant wine from this château that readers will love. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as a classic bouquet of cassis, dried flowers, freshly sharpened pencils, and obvious minerality, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, lots of building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need 4-6 years at a minimum but is some serious Margaux brilliance that will have 30 years of longevity.”

“In this stylish wine, fruit and tannins are in harmony. Black plum flavors are richly concentrated with the firm structure. The wine is set for long-term aging.”

95/100 Andreas Larsson, Tasted
“Dark fruity and intense with roasted coffee bean, meaty notes, balanced oak and a wealth of crushed dark berries. An ample and rich palate, layered in a modern and supple style with fine balance. Long and powerful finish.”

“On the nose, an expression of fruit, elegance, offering power, delicacy, complexity and a fine grain and finely tight. It reveals the notes of blackberry, violet, ripe wild currant and more lightly saffron combined with hints of cassis, a small touch of bright cherry, hints of sweet spice and a subtle hint of pepper and an imperceptible hint of clove (in the background). The palate is fruity, balanced and offers freshness, minerality, good definition, a certain gourmandize, suavity, roundness, a excellence power, straightness, an airy character in the balance (given the power, the richness) as well as a good tannic structure. The attack offers a certain firmness. The wine express the notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, bright cherry and more slightly juicy cassis associated with touches of violet, bright berries, racy minerality as well as hints of fresh blond tobacco, toast, vanilla and a subtle hint of pepper (in the background). The tannins are precise, relatively massive and mellow. A fine chew on the finish. Good length and persistence.”

94/100 Falstaff
“Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, deep core, delicate rim brightening. Fine, inviting wild berries, ripe cherries, delicate savoury nuances, a hint of vanilla. Juicy, good complexity and freshness, sweet texture, ripe, supporting tannins, a touch of toasty flavors, mineral and long lasting, certain ageing potential.”

94/100 VV Wine
”Expressive, fine, floral, dark fruity, with hints of dark chocolate and sweetness. The taste is elegant, showcasing crisp fruit and plenty of finesse, with a creamy texture, polished tannins, no overpowering oak, and everything in great balance. A quality Lascombes that should be enjoyable early on.”

Château Lascombes 2. Grand Cru Classé 2020 er skabt på 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot og 5% Petit Verdot, som er håndhøstet fra topslottets grusbanker i Margaux i perioden 10. september til 2. oktober 2020. 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 12. september og afsluttet 20. oktober 2020, og macerationstiden strækker sig over 30-35 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.
