Tasting notes
The 2014 Chevalier de Lascombes is dark, powerful and inviting. Black cherries, plums, smoke, menthol and cloves flesh out in a powerful, supple wine built on texture. The significant presence of Merlot contributes richness and pliancy to match the wine's notable power.

The Chevalier de Lascombes 2014 has a plush, easygoing, quite opulent nose that is clearly designed to be punter friendly. The palate is rounded with gritty tannin, tarry black fruit with a slightly short finish. It does not flow as a second wine ought to.
About the producer
With vines spread across 40 different parcels throughout the appellation, Ch. Lascombes is one of the most fragmented but also largest Médoc estates, with 120 hectares of vines, now owned by the MACSF insurance company.
