Lascombes 2015

Château Lascombes 2015

A rich and opulent expression of Margaux from one of the appellation’s largest and most historic estates, Château Lascombes 2015 reflects the warmth and generosity of a standout Bordeaux vintage. Classified as a Second Growth, Lascombes is known for producing wines of plush texture and aromatic depth, and the 2015 vintage stands among the château’s most impressive modern releases.

The nose is expressive and seductive, offering aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, and plum layered with notes of violet, mocha, cedar, and sweet spice. Hints of licorice, tobacco, and dark chocolate add complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with velvety, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Concentrated dark fruit flavors are complemented by polished oak, carrying through to a long, smooth, and luxurious finish.

Generous and approachable earlier than more austere Margaux styles, the 2015 Lascombes nonetheless has the structure to continue evolving gracefully with cellaring.
