Born at the dawn of an exceptional vintage in Bordeaux, Château Lascombes 2009 brilliantly illustrates the consistent quality of this Second Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, considered one of the most beautiful references of the prestigious Left Bank appellation.
Blend
48% merlot, 48% cabernet sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.
Color
Beautiful purple color with violet reflections.
Nose
The aromatic elegance of the bouquet seduces with its refinement, revealing the delicacy of black fruit aromas, spicy notes evolving on the discretion of roasting notes testifying to the perfect mastery of aging.
Palate
The frankness of the attack on the palate gives way to a dense and suave substance that fills the palate with tasty sensations, revealing the generosity of the fruit. Structured by tannins with a silky grain, the palate indisputably displays this tactile touch, so refined, typical of the great Margaux, stretching in the persistence of a long finish. The 2009 Chateau Lascombe is a great classic with outstanding ageing potential.
