18 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Verrücktes Bouquet, Kräuterteenoten, kandierte Frucht, hoch reife Johannisbeeren und Cassisanflüge, das Bouquet wirkt wuchtig und zeigt eine volle Margaux-Süsse. Im Gaumen geht dieser süsse Fruchtpower weiter und wirkt betörend. Letztendlich fehlt dann im Finale leider etwas der Druck um das Ganze nach hinten zu katapultieren. 18/20 2022 – 2044
94 Robert Parker
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Lascombes has a beautiful nose of black forest cake, violets, cassis and tilled soil with wafts of garrigue and potpourri. Medium-bodied, very fine and elegant with great intensity of restrained, earthy flavors, it has a long, savory finish.

A frankly fruit-driven style, but delicious, with exuberant plum and blackberry paste flavors leading the way, backed by a melted licorice note. The velvety finish has good underlying acidity.—J.M.
Producer
Château Lascombes
Located in the heart of Margaux, Château Lascombes is one of five Second Classified Growths in the region. Since the 17th century the château has had a wide array of owners. By 2011 the estate fell into the hands of the French medical insurance group, MACSF. Under the new ownership, the estate’s quality curve has been even further accentuated thus following in the path of the first owner, the Knight Antoine de Lascombes. As one of the largest properties, but also one of the most scattered, the vineyards extend across both the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellations, with just over 118-hectares under vine. Vinification at the estate is led by Lascombes’ Dominique Befve, and consulting vintner, Michel Rolland. Together they produce several impressive clarets influenced by the team’s savoir-faire attitude. One third of their annual production is dedicated to the well-balanced, Chevalier de Lascombes that gains an even greater depth and complexity after years of maturation. In the same spirit of excellence, the property produces an elegant second wine, Lascombes.
