2015 Chateau Lascombes

Margaux 的典雅力量：穩重又帶性格，一杯讓人想續杯的 Bordeaux。

【為什麼選它？】
- 產區背景 -> Margaux 礦物感明顯，配餐簡單不出錯。
- 2015 成熟年份 -> 果實濃縮但不紮實，入口順而有層次。
- 酒莊工藝 -> 橡木桶細緻陳年，令香氣更立體。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開瓶塞先聞到深色果香，黑醋栗、李子揉合雪松和煙草，那種成熟但不過火的果味很討好。入口果實飽滿，單寧有骨但打磨得夠順滑，尾段帶礦物和一絲皮革、胡椒香，餘韻長。建議醒一個鐘左右，會更圓潤。

【場景化配餐指南】週末家庭烤鴨、朋友來吃燒羊或煮一鍋慢燉牛肋條都很搭；遇上菇類燉飯更能凸顯酒的泥土感。

【降維打擊對比】與大牌同年份比起來，Lascombes 給你傳統 Margaux 的結構與時間感，但價位更友善，是追求品質又想聰明消費者的選擇。

A persuasive Margaux: refined power with old-school Bordeaux structure.

【Why pick this?】
- Proven terroir -> Distinct mineral backbone and class that lifts food pairing.
- Mature 2015 vintage -> Ripe, concentrated fruit without heaviness.
- Estate craftsmanship -> Barrel ageing and precise élevage bring layered complexity.

【Sommelier's Notes】On the pour you get dense dark-fruit core—blackcurrant and plum—framed by cedar, graphite and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a stony minerality that carries flavours through a long, saline finish. Decant 60–90 minutes to let the oak integrate and the primary fruit open up.

【Occasion / Pairing】Perfect for a celebratory Cantonese roast dinner, a Sunday roast with friends, or a refined steak night. Works especially well with roast lamb, braised beef short ribs or mushroom-led dishes.

【Competitive Edge】Compared to big-name grand crus, this vintage gives you classical Margaux structure and sophisticated oak handling at a more accessible price—great value for collectors and serious drinkers.

Winery

Château Lascombes 位於 Margaux 核心地帶，酒莊歷史悠久，長期以穩健、經典的風格著稱。田間管理注重分級採收與果實成熟度，入桶前嚴格篩選、以溫控發酵。酒體多在法國橡木桶中陳年約一年半左右，讓雪松、礦物感與果味自然融合，風格既有傳統感也有現代的精細度。

Château Lascombes sits in the heart of Margaux and has long been recognised for producing structured, classically styled wines. The estate combines traditional viticulture with modern cellar techniques. Grapes are carefully selected, fermented under controlled temperatures and the wine is matured in French oak barrels for roughly 18 months, allowing the estate's signature cedar and mineral notes to develop alongside ripe fruit and integrated oak.
