Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux 2023

$37.99
The Chevalier de Lascombes (“Knight of Lascombes”) is now known as the estate’s second wine. It owes its name to Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes, born in 1625, whose son Jean acquired the estate, which was then called Segonnes and already included a single-storey charterhouse, a winery and a barrel cellar.

Quite a fragrant nose, really floral and heavily scented with black berry fruit and some red cherry notes. Crisp and chalky, this has a lovely fresh bite and tang to the strawberry fruit, more red on the palate with a clear, crystalline base of powdery minerality. A touch tense in terms of focus but there’s nice softness too, expanding slowly with a long length. An encouraging second wine with some underlying power. Clean and precise. A little toasted on the finish, graphite, cedar, coffee and dark chocolate. 3.70pH. A yield of 35hl/h. First vintage under director Axel Heinz. Julien Viaud consultant.
