Chateau Lascombes History & Overview:
Chateau Lascombes takes its name from one of its earliest owners who possessed the estate in the 17th century, Antoine, Chevalier de Lascombes. Born in 1625, Lascombes inherited the estate from the Durfort de Duras family. The Durfort de Duras family was well established in Margaux as they had their own eponymous estate, Chateau Durfort, which later became Durfort Vivens. In the late 1700’s, Comte Jean-Jules Theophile Chaix-d’Est-Ange, the owner of Lascombes purchased Chateau Marquie d'Alesme. He wanted to combine both Margaux vineyards to create one large Medoc property. At one point in time, the original chateau at Marquis d’Alesme was used as a business office for Chateau Lascombes. The estate was known as Domaine de Lascombes until 1860. Through numerous sales and inheritance issues, Lascombes passed through a myriad of owners, until 1926 when it became part of the Ginestet family holdings. At the time, they were the owners of Chateau Margaux. During the later stages of World War II, Lascombes was used by Allied forces as an army headquarters. Chateau Lascombes in the Modern Age (1952) Chateau Lascombes was purchased by a group of investors headed by Alexis Lichine. The group included the wealthy American David Rockefeller. By the 1950’s Chateau Lascombes had suffered from close to complete neglect. The vineyards needed extensive replanting, the chateau required refurbishing and the entire wine-making facilities demanded modernizing. While the original 50,000 GBP price seemed cheap, the new owners spent a small fortune bringing Lascombes into proper shape. Shortly before the sale of the Medoc property took place, Alexis Lichine also purchased another Margaux estate, Chateau Prieure Lichine. Under Alexis Lichine, the production of Lascombes almost tripled before selling the estate. In 1971 the company was taken over by the British brewing company Bass Charrington. This brought the Alexis Lichine era in Bordeaux to an end. Following the acquisition by the Bass Group, which also owned Chateau LaTour in Pauillac, Bordeaux winemaker Rene Vanatelle was brought on board. Rene Vanatelle determined that only 50 hectares of their planted acreage were able to produce wines of Second Growth quality. The lesser quality terroir was from that point forward used to produce their second wine, Segonnes. Rene Vanatelle however, continued expanding the main vineyard, buying more land from another chateau. In 1997, prior to his retirement, Rene Vanatelle introduced a new second wine, Chevalier de Lascombes in 1982. This end panel is from the Margaux line of grapes.
This panel was in the wine cellar at my house growing up. The small temperature-controlled room was decorated in wine labels, wood case end panels and other wine-related items. My father was a true wine connoisseur purchasing a case of Chateau Lafite Rothschild when each of his children were born in 1959, 1960 & 1963 and waited until we had a major milestone (turning 18 & 21, first job, engagement, wedding, baby, etc...) to open a bottle. I only have 1 bottle left! I can't keep everything... I'm letting this go as there are other items with more sentimental value to me.
