The winery is located in the municipality of Margaux in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). The Durfort de Duras family is named as the first owners, who planted the first vineyards in the 15th century and ran the estate for centuries. At that time, the family also owned Château Durfort-Vivens and the Lascombes vineyards were originally part of it. During the French Revolution, the estate became state property for a few years. Jean-François Lascombes then took it to the top, and in 1838 it was named as the equal of Château Margaux.

In the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the estate was awarded second place (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé).

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
