2018 Chateau Lascombes

Margaux 名莊的力量與優雅並存，一口就能感受到層次與耐藏性。

為什麼選它？
- 名莊身分 -> 2eme Grand Cru Classé，品質有保證、值得收藏。
- 細緻陳釀 -> 橡木與陶缸共同熟成18個月，帶來絲滑口感與香料層次。
- 手工分級採收 -> 多次手摘與田間嚴格挑選，果實成熟度一致，結構穩定。

侍酒師私房筆記：聞起來是成熟的黑莓與黑醋栗，還有雪松、微煙燻和一點甘草的深度。入口飽滿且帶奶油感，單寧細緻但有力，尾段有咖啡與黑巧克力的陰影，果味收得很乾淨。現飲建議醒90分鐘，或放著再陳三至七年口感會更融合。

場景化配餐指南：週末與朋友在家煎一塊厚切ribeye、年夜飯想來點重口味牛扒，或正式晚宴搭配野味、烤牛或成熟硬質芝士都很合適。再簡單一點：慢火燒的蘑菇醬牛柳也能把它帶出最好的一面。

降維打擊對比：比起同區頂級價位的名牌，Lascombes 給你相似的結構與陳年潛力，價格更親民，層次也不輸大牌——性價比一流。

Soul Hook: A Margaux classic that pairs power with polish — dense dark fruit underpinned by refined tannins.

Why choose it?
- Estate pedigree -> A 2ème Grand Cru Classé with consistent quality and ageing potential.
- Thoughtful élevage -> Oak + amphora ageing and 18 months maturation add layered texture without losing purity.
- Meticulous harvest & vinification -> Hand-picked, strict sorting and gentle infusion maceration (20–30 days) produce silky structure and long finish.

Sommelier’s Notes: On the nose you'll find ripe blackberry and blackcurrant, lifted by cedar, tobacco and a light smoky note. The palate is inviting and dense — creamy entry, concentrated fruit and fine-grained tannins that feel polished rather than aggressive. A streak of dark chocolate and espresso frames the long, fruit-forward finish. Excellent structure for short to mid-term cellaring; decant about 90 minutes if drinking now.

Occasion (Pairing Guide): Ideal for a celebratory steak dinner, an intimate formal meal or a Cantonese-style special occasion where rich beef or game is served. Also shines with a cheese board of Manchego and aged hard cheeses.

Producer & Winemaking Notes: Château Lascombes combines classic Margaux finesse with modern élevage — gentle vinification by infusion, maceration decided by daily tastings, and ageing in oak and amphora for 18 months. Hand-harvested in several passes, meticulously sorted in the vineyard and vatroom to preserve balance and aromatic complexity.

Competitive Edge: Compared with top-tier names, this bottle delivers Grand Cru Classé depth and ageing ability at a relatively accessible price — serious Bordeaux character without the ultra-premium tag.
