History of the House

Classified 2nd Grand Cru in 1855, Château Lascombes covers 120 hectares, making it one of the largest estates in the Médoc. Its vineyard is located on typical Margaux soils: deep gravel and clay-limestone plots. This exceptional terroir is mainly planted with Merlot (50%), followed by Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) and Petit Verdot (5%), offering wines of great richness and elegance. Since its founding in the 17th century, Château Lascombes has embodied excellence, with a style combining power, roundness and finesse.
