Château Lascombes 2011 - Margaux - 2nd Grand Cru Classé
Château Lascombes, 2nd Grand Cru Classé since 1855, is one of the most emblematic estates in the Margaux appellation. The 2011 vintage is a perfect illustration of the château's style: a wine that combines elegance, aromatic richness and structure, even in a vintage considered to be ‘classic’.
Blend
- 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot
An atypical blend for Margaux, with Merlot predominating, giving the wine roundness, suppleness and fruit, balanced by the structure and tension of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting
- Colour: Intense ruby with garnet highlights.
- Nose: Notes of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), sweet spices, vanilla, cocoa, cedar.
- Palate: Supple attack, silky tannins, fine, harmonious structure. Nice freshness on the finish, typical of the vintage.
- Finish: Persistent, on black fruits, spices and noble wood
Food & Wine Pairing
- Roast fillet of beef, rack of lamb, poultry with morel mushrooms
- Porcini risotto, lamb tajine, truffle dishes
- Hard cheeses (comté, old mimolette)
Ageing potential
Already pleasant today after aeration, Château Lascombes 2011 can be kept until 2030. It will gain in complexity with a further 2-5 years in the cellar.
