  • Goedhuis, April 2017, Score: 91-93

    A very deep purple in the glass. This has high-drama oak wrapped around juicy, sweet fruit. It is modern, and full of flare. The palate is well executed, with supple, plush tannins, a ripe fruit core, and balancing acidity. CP

  • Neal Martin, January 2019, Score: 94

    The 2016 Labégorce comes from a property that has really been getting its act together in recent years. It has a gorgeous, very pure blackberry, raspberry and pressed violet bouquet, almost understated, but there is real focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin and quite Pauillac-like in style, and there is impressive density on the finish. Wonderful. Look out for this. 2024 - 2050

  • Neal Martin, April 2017, Score: 94-96

    The 2016 Labegorce is a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot picked between 4-21 October and matured in 45% new oak. What I like about the bouquet is that it is quintessential Margaux--it could not come from anywhere else. Crushed violets infuse black cherries, blueberry and iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very well-judged acidity, an elegant and very charming Margaux with pencil lead and a touch of spice on the long finish. What a brilliant wine from a Margaux estate that has really upped its game. Drink Date 2026 - 2055

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2017, Score: 89-91

    The 2016 Labégorce is terrific. Pliant, supple and accessible, it offers considerable near- and medium-term appeal in a pliant, juicy style. Dark red fruit, grilled herbs, smoke, licorice and tobacco all flesh out nicely. The 2016 is powerful and dense, but also comes across as a bit less heavy than in the past. It will be interesting to see if that is more related to the vintage or a slightly stylistic shift. Time will tell. Tasted two times.

  • James Suckling, April 2017, Score: 94-95

    This may be the best Labégorce ever. Full-bodied and dense yet vivid and energetic. Greatness in the making.

  • Decanter, April 2017, Score: 93

    Deep, rich extraction, black cherry in colour with very well controlled aromatics of damson and creamy cappuccino. This is a gorgeous wine and there are going to be many many fans of the contemporary but utterly controlled and well judged flavours on display here. Luscious and big, but everything has a reason for being where it is, nothing superfluous. One of the best ever from this property.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2017, Score: 17+

    This is another coffee-scented wine with an espresso bean note pervading the dense dark fruit underneath. I like this trait a lot as it builds complexity and also complements the oak used (in fact it is probably linked). The fruit flavours are lovely and the finish is tight and keen and overall this is a very good effort for this Château.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2017, Score: 16.5

    Very scented. Maybe slightly tarty but it delivers lots of flashy fruit. It does seem almost too sweet to me and the oak is not yet fully integrated. Drink 2024-2038

  • Tim Atkin, May 2017, Score: 92

    There’s quite a bit of oak on this ambitious, well-structured red blend, but it’s a wine that’s made for a middle distance race rather than sprint. The tannins are well judged, built around a core of red fruits, tobacco spice and tangy acidity. 2024-30

Château Labégorce

Region

Margaux

Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
