FEATURES
🏰The 1998 Bordeaux vintage, particularly for the Left Bank, is celebrated for producing wines with 【excellent structure and aging potential】, making this Chateau Segonnes a delightful discovery. Expect a wine that has evolved beautifully, offering a complex bouquet of dark fruits, cedar, and a hint of tobacco, with a palate that is still vibrant and well-integrated.
🍴 This elegant Bordeaux pairs wonderfully with classic French dishes like roasted lamb with herbs, beef Wellington, or a rich mushroom risotto. For an Asian twist, consider Cantonese braised beef brisket or a savory Peking duck.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or a quiet evening by the fireplace enjoying a mature, complex red.
BACKGROUND
Château Lascombes is a wine estate in the Margaux appellation, producing a classic Bordeaux Blend wine known for its deep colour, rich texture, ripe fruit and elegant tannic structure. It was ranked a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.The vineyard is situated in the northwest of the appellation, neighboring châteaux Labégorce, Perrière and La Gurgue. It covers 112 hectares (275 acres) in Margaux with a parcel of 6ha (15 acres) in the Haut-Médoc appellation. The vineyard has three distinct parts of roughly equal size; a gravelly mound on which Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot are planted, a clay-gravel area of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and clay-limestone plots better suited to Merlot. Unusually for Margaux, Merlot accounts for around 50 percent of plantings with Cabernet Sauvignon playing second fiddle along with a small amount of Petit Verdot. Despite this, the grand vin tends to feature around 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
