Description

The oldest-known owner was Chevalier Antoine de Lascombes, born ln 1625. In the XVII century, the domain was joined to that of Durfort. The counts of Durfort owned most of the land in the Guyenne province. In the XVIII century, Jean-Francois de Lascombes, a councillor at the Bordeaux Parliament, Academy member and Kings pRosécutor at the Admiralty, devoted his wealth to raising the quality of Lascombes wine. Alexis Lichine purchased the property in 1952. He revived this great growth by wholly restructuring and renewing the vineyard and winemaking facilities. A persuasive, media-oriented man, he put Chateau Lascombes back on the map, before selling it on to British brewer Bass-Charrington who already owned Alexis Lichine and Co. ln 2001, the estate was acquired by Colony Capital and since 2011, it is the French mutuel MACSF that owns the chateau. Since 2001, the estate has undergone major transformations aimed at producing a flawless quality wine worthy of its second growth status.
