生於1625年的Antoine de Lascombes騎士是力士金莊園最早的主人，力士金 (Lascombes) 的名稱便來自他的姓氏，他讓力士金莊園在這片土地上紮根。他的後人之一，波爾多議會顧問、海軍將領團的國王代理人、院士Jean-François de Lascombes將財產投資於這座酒莊，致力提升力士金的葡萄酒品質。
在1855年的波爾多特級莊列級時，力士金酒莊被評為二級名莊。2011年，力士金莊園被法國互助保險集團MACSF收購，MACSF深知力士金酒莊的巨大潛力。
力士金的副牌使用沒有畫出為正牌酒準備的葡萄。但它絕不是小孩子，只是比正牌力量略減，更為溫和，可以於較早時間享用，亦有十年陳年能力。

令人印象深刻的深色水果香氣，帶有黑莓、非常成熟的李子和石墨的香味。具有豐富的黑加侖子風味、超順滑的單寧，餘韻以黑莓味道收結。非常平易近人。
A central figure in the history of Château Lascombes was Knight Antoine de Lascombes. As well as being the château’s first recorded owner, it was he who gave Lascombes its name. Born in 1625, he was to forge the destiny of the estate. One of his descendants, Jean-François de Lascombes, a councillor at the Bordeaux parliament, Crown Prosecutor at the Admiralty and member of the Academy, dedicated his fortune to the upkeep of the château and most particularly to enhancing the quality of its wines. In 1855, Château Lascombes was ranked as a Second Classified Growth in the classification of the Grand Crus Classés.
In 2011, the MACSF became the new owners when they bought Château Lascombes from Colony Capital. They immediately sought to take the quality of the wines to even greater heights and thereby gain permanent recognition for the fine work begun by the estate’s first owners.
The second in the Lascombes family is no baby brother. This wine is selected from batches that were not marked out for the First Wine. This “other” wine of Château Lascombes has undeniable charm and offers obvious drinking pleasure. Less powerful than the First Wine but more suave, this wine can be consumed earlier, in its first ten years.

Impressive dark-fruited depth on the nose with blackberries, graphite and very ripe plums. The palate has a superb array of rich cassis flavors, super smooth tannins and a fresh, fleshy blackberry-flavored finish. Very approachable.
