Margaux's second growth from deep gravel soils; 2021 harvested under cool precision, aged in French oak with a higher Merlot share than peers.
Château Lascombes sits on one of Margaux's most extensive Second Growth estates, its vineyards spread across deep Günzian gravel beds over clay subsoil — a profile that drains aggressively, stressing roots downward and concentrating berry intensity while preserving the appellation's signature aromatic lift.
The 2021 growing season delivered a cool, dry summer followed by a warm September harvest window, producing wines of precise definition rather than opulence.
The blend leans notably toward Merlot — unusual for a Margaux Second Growth — softening the structural frame without sacrificing the gravel-driven tension. Aging proceeds in French oak barriques, with a proportion of new oak calibrated to integrate rather than dominate, over an extended élevage that allows the mid-palate to knit.
The result carries Margaux's characteristic violet-and-iron signature alongside a plush, Merlot-weighted core.
The 2021 vintage across Margaux rewards patience: tannins are present but finely grained, and the wine's architecture suggests a drinking window opening from 2025 through 2035+.
Sommelier’s pick: rack of lamb with rosemary jus · duck breast with black cherry reduction · aged Comté with walnut bread
