Chateau Lascombes 2 cru Margaux 2010

Château Lascombes is a remarkable estate in the Bordeaux region, with a history dating back to 1625. With its 118 hectares of vineyards, most of which (112 hectares) are located in the Margaux appellation and the remaining 6 hectares in Haut-Médoc, it is one of the largest properties in the Médoc area.

Export and USA Connection:

• Château Lascombes wine has always enjoyed great success in export markets. Particularly in the United States, it has been popular and in demand. This can be attributed to Bordeaux icon Alexis Lichine, who took over the estate's management in 1952 with strong support from American investors. Under his leadership, the estate's vineyards were significantly expanded over two decades. He also restructured the estate's winemaking and brought about a significant increase in quality.

Classification and Upgrading:

• After acquiring the property in April 2001, new American owners have been working on a major renovation and restructuring with the aim of elevating Château Lascombes to a higher tier, making it worthy of the classification as a 2nd Growth (2e Cru Classé), an honorable and prestigious status in Bordeaux's classification system for vineyards.

Château Lascombes has a long and significant history in the world of Bordeaux wine and has undergone significant changes and improvements in recent years to continue producing high-quality wine. Its location in Margaux, one of the most prestigious areas in Bordeaux, and its commitment to enhancing quality make it an estate worth following and exploring.
