The 2017 Chevalier de Lascombes is a very appealing and expressive second wine from Lascombes. Creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, lavender and cloves all flesh out in this fruity, succulent Margaux. There is plenty of potential, especially if the 2017 goes into bottle with this level of fruit purity.
This is really aromatic and bright with cedar, tobacco and currants. Hints of citrus. Refined and very pretty. JS
Food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.
