Château Lascombes Margaux 2016 : A Rich and Structured Third Growth with Modern Opulence and Classic Margaux Elegance

Château Lascombes Margaux 2016 is a powerful and polished Grand Cru Classé from the Margaux appellation, classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru Classé). Known for its modern, fruit-forward style and generous texture, the estate has evolved into one of the most expressive producers in the Médoc. The 2016 vintage is widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s greatest recent years, delivering exceptional balance, freshness, and structure across the Left Bank.

The blend is composed primarily of Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot, giving the wine its signature plushness combined with backbone and depth.

In the glass, it shows a deep, dark ruby purple color with an almost opaque core. The nose is intense and layered, opening with blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, followed by violets, graphite, tobacco, cedar, espresso, and subtle smoky oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with a lush, velvety texture and fine, structured tannins. Despite its richness, it retains freshness and precision, giving the wine lift and definition through the mid-palate. The finish is long, polished, and slightly mineral, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cocoa, and spice.

Critics have rated the 2016 vintage highly, with scores consistently in the mid-90s, praising its density, elegance, and seamless integration of fruit and oak. It is considered both approachable in its youth with decanting and highly age-worthy, with the potential to evolve gracefully for two decades or more.

Château Lascombes 2016 pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle risotto, mushroom-based dishes, and aged cheeses. Its richness and structure make it ideal for both refined dining and celebratory occasions.
