ABOUT THE WINE

Chevalier de Lascombes is the second wine of Château Lascombes. The 2023 vintage is a blend of 70% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. The grapes are gently infused, with maceration lasting approximately 20 to 30 days, and the wine is aged for 16 months in oak barrels and foudres, all of which have been used for one vintage.

Fragrant and polished, it brings together ripe red and black berries, cassis, violet and subtle savory spice. The palate is medium-bodied to full, with fine-grained tannins, fresh energy and a long, composed finish. Pair with roast beef, lamb, duck breast, grilled mushrooms or aged cheeses.
