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.
"The 2019 Labégorce has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of smoky berry fruit, cassis, incense and subtle hints of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively, with good depth and ripe, gently chewy tannins, this is a fine effort." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 90/100
"Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, plums, espresso, orange chocolate and wet earth. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Rich and creamy with generous ripe-berry and chocolate notes. Walnut and earth notes on the finish. Drink from 2024." - James Suckling 92/100
"The 2019 Labégorce was the first vintage vinified in the new cellar and also the first to use Cabernet Franc from the north part of the appellation, on more limestone soils, a massal selection from an organic producer in the south of France. Matured in 40% new oak, this has a voluminous, multifaceted bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, cedar and perhaps more rose petal than violet at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very well balanced, and a little spicier than I found from barrel, leading to a detailed, tensile finish." - Vinous 94/100
"Alluring, offering velvety-textured plum and blackberry preserve flavors, laced with singed alder and tobacco hints. Shows a subtle tug of earth through the dark finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032." - Wine Spectator 90/100
"The largest of the Perrodo estates in Margaux, this is a little heavier set and muscular than the Marquis d'Alesme, extremely accomplished and majoring on coffee beans and tobacco alongside blackcurrant fruits. Enjoyable, a little less signature Margaux that its sibling property but this is a delicious gourmet-edged wine, and a brilliant (relatively) value choice in the appellation." - Decanter 92/100
"Tasted blind. Very concentrated colour. Very evolved nose. Sweet and ‘pleasant’. Deceptively simple, but not forced, and it does express Margaux. Quite long. Should gain complexity in bottle. 14%" - Jancis Robinson 16,5/20
