Château Lascombes, Second Cru Classé (second-ranked French vineyard) in 1855, is one of the most extensive vineyards in the Medoc. This Margaux Cru Classé (classified superior quality wine estate) consisting of 118 hectares, 112 of which are vineyards, was able to build a great reputation from its early years. It was in 1625 that the property started gaining distinction under the Knight of Lascombes. For centuries the château and its vineyard would take a place among the ranks of chateaus that contributed to the Medoc reputation: a reputation that would become definitive when Colony Capital, an American pension fund, acquired it in April, 2001. In addition, it was during this period that the owners started significant restoration (renewal of the vineyard, more appropriate adaptation of the grape varieties to each soil, change in the layout of the fermentation cellar to a complete gravity-flow system and enlargement of the wine storehouse) without ever forgetting that modernity should serve the great Médoc tradition.
Dominique Befve and his teams are dedicated to always making house wines with more elegance, finesse and character, vintage after vintage. Moreover Château Lascombes and Chevalier de Lascombes (the second wine) are characterised by warmth, freshness, a fruity flavour and smoothness while embracing the powerful character that the most distinguished Margaux appellation lands are capable of producing.
In March 2011 the American group decided to sell the property and MACSF (the French physicians’ mutual insurance company) offered to buy it and set new aspirations for the Cru Classé.
