The vision
Heading
on history
The chapter that began at Lascombes in 2022 with the Lawrence family marked a change of direction.
First and foremost, it represents a return to family, in the tradition of the great dynasties that have shaped the property’s history. This is not insignificant. It is the strong, long-term commitment of a family that knows and loves wine and Bordeaux.

The terroir
classified in 1855
It is also the choice of a return for Lascombes’ Grand Vin to what is customarily called its historic terroir.
That of the 1855 classification. In a style more rooted in Bordeaux tradition and classic proportions, with a predominance of Cabernet-Sauvignon grown on gravelly soil. The signature balance of the Grands Vins of Margaux.
SEE THE TERROIR“For us, Lascombes’ Grand Vin
should offer charm and pleasure,
in a very classic, Margaux style.”
An exploration into roots to write the future
Expressing character also means revealing the incomparable mosaic of Margaux’s terroirs, the signature of the complexity of its wines, of which the Lascombes vineyard is perhaps the best representative.
High-precision viticulture is the key to achieving this.
And there’s an idea at the heart of the process: to consider the special nature of each plot, if not each vine, and to tailor the support provided to achieve the most faithful possible expression of its unique character, the precision of its fruit, the originality of its terroir and the specific effect of the climate for the vintage.
Château Lascombes is a family of three wines expressing the Margaux terroir, each with its own identity and harmonious blend of plots and grape varieties.

to give free rein to the diverse characteristics of Margaux’s great terroirs.”
New perspectives
We’re continuing our work of understanding and precision, first and foremost in the vineyard.
We will also soon be giving concrete expression to our deep commitment to biodiversity and our desire to share the renewal of Lascombes with our visitors.
