Critic Scores

(Margaux; 60% Cabernet Sauvignon; 35% Merlot; 5% Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot; a final yield of 25 hl/ha; 13.5% alcohol; tasted three times, the final time at the UGCB press tasting at the Cité du Vin). This is very much how you now expect it to be, with the clear signature of Axel Heinz and of the infusion vinification that is responsible for its precision and sublime texture. It's incredibly pure, focussed, chiselled and precise with great fruit intensity, great harmony and an almost visceral sense of freshness but also equilibrium and poise. There's almost certainly more concentration and density in the mid-palate that in any previous vintage, but the wine is so pure, aerial and lifted that it's much more difficult to be definitive in answering the question - and it's a distraction anyway. I love the subtle, delicate florality (rather more developed in fact in the final sample tasted) and the way the rose petal and rose peppercorn notes almost seem to merge into one another. I love too the almost pulsating delivery of the cool, menthol-edged and essential freshness of the wine as it stetches itself out and unfurls over the palate. The tactility and gentleness of the touch of the tannins on the finish is exquisite. Exceptional wine-making. - 96 to 98 Points - Colin Hay

Extremely sophisticated and refined, with fine tannins and a long finish. Medium-bodied, polished and pretty. Currant, blackberry and cherry undertones. Seriously crafted. One of the best ever. - 96 to 97 Points - James Suckling

Cassis, graphite, chalky minerality, and spicy wood all define the 2025 Château Lascombes, a much tighter, more focused expression compared to the second wine. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from tiny yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, harvested between September 8th and 25th, it's resting in 60% new French oak with a small percentage in foudre and amphora. Beautifully concentrated on the palate, it has full-bodied richness, ample tannins, and a great finish. This checks in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.59, and the purity here is first rate. - 95 to 97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
