“In our view, this château is right up there with the very best. Its ‘classic’ style, with beautiful depth, is certainly not very ‘flashy.’ That is precisely what makes it such a great success, with notes of flowers and exotic wood, and a soft yet taut palate.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault & Millau) • Delivery in a wooden crate at no extra charge for orders of 12 bottles of this wine shipped within France.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2018 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The mutual insurance group MACSF, now the owner of this highly prestigious estate, is doing everything in its power to uphold its prestige and quality, under the effective leadership of Dominique Befve. The wine, always made from very ripe grapes, possesses a fullness and smoothness rarely found in Margaux, and one must rejoice in the charm and finesse of the second wine, Chevalier-de-Lascombes, which embodies the aromatic allure of the vineyard.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in the 15th century by Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes, acquired in 1952 by Alexis Lichine, and then by the wine merchant Bass & Charrington in 1971, this estate lay dormant until its purchase in 2001 by the American investment fund Colony Capital. A major program was launched 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 former standing.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2018 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Since 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 elevate Lascombes to the level of a very good second growth. Under the direction of Dominique Befve, the wine has already made significant progress in recent years, taking another step forward in the early 2010s. It is now consistent.
