The rich character of a warm Margaux vintage

Château Lascombes 2018 is a red Bordeaux from Margaux, an appellation on the left bank of the Gironde. This vintage has its own distinct character and is of interest to enthusiasts who want to explore the differences between successive vintages.

The Origins and Character of Margaux

Château Lascombes is a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification. The estate is located in Margaux, on the left bank of Bordeaux, where Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot play a major role. The vineyards and the decisions made during winemaking together determine how the wine’s power and refinement are expressed.

The 2018 Harvest Year

After a challenging spring, Bordeaux enjoyed a warm, dry summer in 2018. As a result, many wines developed a ripe, concentrated character. In this vintage, Château Lascombes showcases the full-bodied side of Margaux, where fruit, oak, and tannins combine to form a powerful structure.

Aromas, texture, and development

Black cherry, blackcurrant, plum, cocoa, and subtle vanilla notes define the aroma. The tannins give the wine depth, and the fresh component helps balance its richness. With further bottle aging, more complex earthy notes may develop.

Margaux is often prized for its combination of aromatic refinement and structure. However, not every Margaux tastes the same: the vintage, the blend, and the aging history make a clear difference. A bottle that has aged under good conditions may, over time, develop different aromas than a young one.

Saving, Opening, and Combining

Pair it with beef, game, or a dish featuring roasted vegetables. If you’re looking for a different take on Margaux, try pairing it with the fresher 2021 vintage.

Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at as stable a temperature as possible. If the bottle is older and has sediment, stand it upright beforehand. Pour carefully and taste first: prolonged decanting isn’t necessary for every bottle. A tasting note provides guidance, but the final flavor also depends on when the bottle is opened and the individual bottle itself.
