93-95/100Neal Martin

The 2025 Lascombes was cropped at 25 hl/ha between 8 and 25 September. This has a focused and quite opulent bouquet, but everything is very well controlled, as if there is a tight leash on the aromatics of black plum, iodine and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins on the entry that counter the density of black fruit. Really impressive minéralité in this Margaux with a pleasing strictness towards the almost Pauillac-like finish. This certainly bears the signature of winemaker Axel Heinz, much more precise and tensile compared with vintages a decade ago. Drink 2032-2055.

95-97+/100 Antonio Galloni

The 2025 Lascombes marks another hugely important step forward for this reborn château. Silky yet quite powerful, the 2025 is seamless in the glass. Dark Cabernet Sauvignon fruit opens first, followed by hints of graphite, new leather, incense, tobacco and scorched earth. The long, sculpted finish is dramatic in its beauty, shaped by clean mineral notes and refined, persistent tannins. This is truly impressive, and Axel Heinz's best Lascombes yet. Tasted three times. Drink 2035-2065.

96-97/100 James Suckling

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.

95-97/100 Jeb Dunnuck

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.

96/100 Jane Anson

Rich, powerful, deep vivid plum colours, totally love the slate scrape texture here, and curling violet and iris flowers. As is so often the case this year, the wines need to take a beat before the creaminess and cherry pit steps in, love the interplay of gunsmoke and spice. Smooth and silky tannins, good quality with plenty of berry fruits, this has a beautiful balance. 25hl/ha Harvest September 8 to 25. Here they chose to prioritise the aromatics for picking and you feel it, but also get that slate texture that brings you to the Médoc. Tasted three times. Drink 2036-2055.
