Careful Harvesting and Traditional Winemaking
The 2021 vintage was harvested between September 29th and October 22nd, ensuring optimal ripeness across all vineyard parcels. Hand harvesting took place in several passes, which allowed the winemaking team to select only the best grapes at peak maturity. In addition, meticulous sorting occurred both in the vineyard and in the vatroom, guaranteeing exceptional fruit quality.
The vinification process follows a gentle infusion method, complemented by cold maceration. This careful approach preserves the wine’s delicate aromas and enhances its natural freshness. Furthermore, maceration lasts between 30 and 35 days, adjusted through daily tastings to ensure precision and balance in the final blend.
Elegant Structure and Balanced Aging
With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol. and a yield of 41 hl/ha, Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux maintains both concentration and elegance. The wine is then aged in a combination of barrels and large oak casks, which adds subtle complexity without overpowering its fruit character. Consequently, the tannins remain structured yet supple, creating a smooth and refined mouthfeel.
On the palate, you can expect layers of ripe red fruit, soft spice, and a lingering finish that reflects the finesse of the Margaux appellation. Additionally, its balance makes it suitable for pairing with roasted meats, duck, or mature cheeses.
