Château Lascombes
Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark purple in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, light vegetables and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, pencil lead and earth.
Medium finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Margaux. Elegant, complex and nicely balanced.
This second wine from Château Lascombes is rich and fruit forward. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux with a touch of New World.
I had the 2018 not too long ago and this one is drinking much better now. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$40.

At the start splash of dark cherries, plums, oranges wrapped into layers of coffee, smoke and leather. The tannins are a bit thick with a bitterness but this works to offset the acidity.

Dark ruby red, fruity aroma, cherry and tobacco accents, dry and succulent, slight hint of vanilla finish, excellent with the filet prepared with a fig reduction.

2022 vintage. First time seeing/tasting the 2nd label of Château Lascombes. Flips the main label blend of approx 70% Cab/30% Merlot to 70% Merlot/30% Cab. Turnabout is fair play-and delicious. Just enough grip and grab tannins along with slip and slab fruit punch. $25.10 a bottle resto cost. Send a case and let’s see where it leads. O3.12.25.
