Château Lascombes Margaux 2e Cru Classé 1982 OWC12

Details

Château Lascombes takes its name from its first owner, the knight Antoine de Lascombes, born in 1625. At the end of the 18th century, Jean-François de Lascombes, then a councilor in the Bordeaux parliament, used his fortune to elevate the estate to the ranks of the finest wines. The current château, built in 1867, is the work of the president of the bar Chaix d'Est Ange.

A decisive turning point came in 1952 with the acquisition of the estate by Alexis Lichine. This visionary undertook a vast restructuring of the vineyard and modernized the technical facilities, breathing new life into the property.

After having several owners over the decades, Château Lascombes now belongs to the Lawrence family. Continuing this tradition, the estate is currently entering a new era under the leadership of an internationally renowned general manager: Axel Heinz. An iconic figure in Tuscan viticulture for nearly twenty years, this renowned winemaker aspires to place Château Lascombes in the purest Margaux tradition, while infusing it with new, forward-looking energy.

Château Lascombes has embodied the excellence of the Margaux appellation for several centuries. The richness of its terroirs, its vast vineyard, and the quality of its wines make it one of the jewels of the Bordeaux region. Driven by a new dynamic, the estate seems more than ever destined to be among the greatest names in Margaux, extending a prestigious legacy begun in the 17th century.
