Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The mutual insurance group MACSF, now the owner of this very important property, is doing everything possible to ensure its prestige and quality, under the effective leadership of Dominique Befve. The wine, always made from very ripe grapes, has a fullness and smoothness that is rare in Margaux, and the charm and finesse of the second wine, Chevalier-de-Lascombes, with its seductive aromas, is a delight.
Decanter
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Notes of cedar and blackcurrant, with a distinct aromatic concentration on the attack. Appealing with well-integrated blackcurrant fruit. The potential of this wine is already apparent with a few more years in the bottle, but it is slightly abrupt on the finish.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in the 15th century by the knight Antoine de Lascombes, acquired in 1952 by Alexis Lichine, then by the Bass & Charrington wine merchant in 1971, this estate lay dormant until it was bought in 2001 by the American investment fund Colony Capital. A major program was implemented under the leadership of Dominique Befve, formerly of the Rothschild estates, to renovate this vast, highly fragmented 112-hectare vineyard. Lascombes, acquired in 2011 by MACSF, has now regained its status.

Rated estate (2018 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
After coming under the control of MACSF, the mutual insurance company for healthcare professionals, in 2011, Lascombes has regained its composure and can now look to the future. The new owner makes no secret of his ambition to raise Lascombes to the level of a very good second growth. Under the leadership of Dominique Befve, the estate has already made good progress in recent years, taking another step forward in the early 2010s. It is now consistent.

Yves Beck
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Delicious! The bouquet of Lascombes' second wine is appetizing with notes of chocolate and licorice wood! Delicious and slightly creamy on the palate, where the wine benefits from a very good tannic structure. Fruity finish.
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2021 guide) 92-93/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)

The nose is fruity, fresh, and delicious, with subtle intensity and depth.

The palate is fresh, fruity, balanced and offers density, a tangy structure, nice definition, a little creaminess, fine grain, tension, finesse and roundness/richness.

Good length. The tannins are elegant. Persistence and a subtle chewiness on the finish/persistence.
