Over het wijnhuis | Château Labégorce was ooit een enorm landgoed in Margaux, maar de Franse Revolutie bracht daar verandering in. Het chateau werd opgesplitst en verdeeld in drie afzonderlijke landgoederen: Château Labégorce, Château Labégorce Zéde en L'Abbe Grosse de Grosse. Sinds 2005 is het echter weer één landgoed. |

Awards | "The 2018 Labégorce is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. It has 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with a beautiful perfume of kirsch, black cherry compote and cassis, plus hints of licorice, lilacs and baking spices. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly played with soft tannins and compelling freshness supporting the fragrant red and black fruits, finishing on a spicy note." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "This is a plump and rich Labégorce with a full body, juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Lots of pure and intense fruit." - James Suckling "The 2018 Labegorce has a very seductive bouquet of pure black cherries, blueberry and crushed floral scents. This is one of the more precocious 2018 Margaux, revealing an increasing floral element with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit laced with tar and licorice. Very cohesive, tightening up toward the finish, which retains fine nuance and mineralité." - Vinous "Silky and refined in feel, with perfumy black currant paste, plum reduction and blackberry compote notes forming the core while sandalwood, black tea and cedar accents drape the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2034." - Wine Spectator "This is a high energy wine with bright floral aromas, super vibrant cranberry-cassis flavours, and a plump richness. The Perrodo family united two neighbouring properties that had once been part of the Château Labegorce estate -- L'Abbé de Gorse and Labegorce Zede -- bringing the total to 65 hectares. with mostly gravelly sandy soil. Now the average age of the vines is nearly 30 years. Unlike the equally impressive 2016, this blend is Cabernet Sauvignon dominant at 50% with Merlot at 44% and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc each at 3%. The summer, says winemaker Marjolaine de Coninck Was amazing for ripeness. Drinking Window 2022 - 2039." - Decanter "Tasted blind. Sweet oaky nose. Some ripe fruit here almost distracts from the tannins. Rich and flattering. Sinewy. 14.5%. Drink 2028 – 2042" - Jancis Robinson |
