Chateau Lascombes - Margaux 2022 750ML

96–98 Point Vintage (vintage consensus: a warm, concentrated, and highly successful Bordeaux vintage delivering richness, precision, and impressive balance across the Left Bank).

Château Lascombes, one of Margaux’s historic Second Growth estates, has refined its style in recent years toward greater precision and terroir expression while retaining depth and presence. The 2022 vintage captures both the power of the year and the estate’s polished house signature — producing a wine of richness, structure, and striking aromatic intensity.

Blend: Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small portions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc (classic Margaux composition).

Tasting Notes: The bouquet is layered and expressive, revealing blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry intertwined with violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, offering cassis, plum, cocoa, and fine oak integration. Despite the warmth of the vintage, freshness and lift carry the fruit, while refined tannins provide structure and length through a persistent, mineral-tinged finish.

Structure: Powerful and concentrated yet balanced, with ripe, finely textured tannins.

Drink Window: 2028–2055+

Decanting: If opened young, decant 2–4 hours to allow the tannins to soften and the aromatics to fully develop. The wine benefits from extended aeration in its youth.

The 2022 Lascombes is a commanding modern Margaux — generous yet structured, polished yet age-worthy. For collectors seeking a bold yet refined expression of this celebrated vintage, it represents both immediate presence and long-term potential within a prestigious appellation.
