Michel Rolland
Since 2001, the winery has hired the famous "flying winemaker" Michel Rolland as a winemaking consultant. In terms of winemaking technology, after the grapes of Luxgold Manor are screened and peeled, they will be macerated at low temperature, and then stainless steel tanks and oak barrels will be used for alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation (Malolactic Fermentation). After fermentation, the wine needs to be aged on the lees for 4 months, and then matured in French oak barrels with a ratio of 80%-100% new barrels for 18-20 months. The entire winemaking process in the winery is completed with the help of gentle gravity flow, which effectively reduces the friction and stirring of fruits, grape juice and wine caused by violent mechanical processing, and avoids possible changes in wine components and wine. Abnormal changes in body structure retain the natural mellow aroma of wine to the greatest extent.

Aromas of crushed blackcurrants and cherries with dried Provence herbs, lavender, raw walnuts and spiced cedar. Graphite, too. Full and muscular with a broad-shouldered, velvety tannin structure that goes on for minutes. Textured and chalky with a lingering finish. Very polished.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Lascombes comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of raspberry coulis, blackberry preserves and fresh blackcurrants, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, dried roses and charcuterie with a waft of bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate has great tension and energy, delivering crunchy red and black fruit layers and a firm, grainy frame, finishing long with an herbal lift.

A terrific success in the vintage, the 2020 Château Lascombes sports a dense purple color as well as gorgeous black and blue fruits interwoven with plenty of toasty oak. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has velvety tannins, good mid-palate density, and beautiful overall balance. It’s one of those wines that brings plenty of ripe fruit yet always has a solid sense of elegance and purity.
【Vinous 93 pts】
The 2020 Lascombes is a deep, sensual wine. Blackberry fruit, lavender, espresso and chocolate are all amplified in this exotic Margaux. Plush and racy, with soft tannins, Lascombes shows off the more opulent side of the appellation. The 2020 is not super-complex, but it is easy to appreciate and drink.
