Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Nach so viele kalten und unnahbaren Margaux war es eine richtige Wohltat an diesem Bouquet riechen zu dürfen, feine Röstnote, reife Frucht, Maulbeeren und ein Hauch von Caramel, im Finale lang und aromatisch. Hat viel Spass bereitet. Und genau so viel Spass und Freude wird er in seiner Reife bereiten. Er gehört zu den Besten! Bravo!

The 2014 Labégorce is one those "dark horses" of the vintage, a wine that has a prosperous future. It has a lovely, very pure and sensual bouquet with lifted redcurrant and wild strawberry scents that really evoke the essence of Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well -udged acidity, good concentration with a satisfying raspberry preserve-infused finish that demonstrates superb persistence. I adored this Labégorce from barrel and now in bottle it does nothing to disprove my initial enthusiasm. Top Margaux ahoy!

Open, with a caressing feel to the mix of violet, plum and anise notes. Twinges of licorice snap and bay show on the finish, but this stays relatively graceful overall. A very pretty display of fruit. Drink now through 2026. 10,000 cases made.

Château Labégorce
This elegant neoclassical château is located on the famous Route des Châteaux. Seventy hectares of the 250-hectare estate are devoted to viticulture. Bordering on châteaux Margaux and Lascombes, this property is mentioned in the 1868 edition of Cocks and Feret ("Bordeaux and its Wines"), which tells us of the existence of "a vineyard belonging to the Noble de la Bégorce family". The château is described as "... one of the most beautiful and best situated in the commune of Margaux". The Perrodo family acquired Labégorce in 1989 and renovated not only the château but also the vineyard. The family also improved the vinification techniques and Labégorce is now a charming wine with beautiful structure, bright fruit, and great finesse. The Perrodo family also acquired Château Marquis d’Alesme, a Third Growth Margaux, which they aim to transform into one of the jewels of the appellation.
