Chateau Labegorce Margaux Cru Bourgeois

A classic Margaux that shows the elegance of the Left Bank without much fuss: fine structure, dark fruit, velvety finish.

Château Labégorce is located in the heart of the Margaux appellation, surrounded by grand crus classés. The estate is one of the most consistent Crus Bourgeois of the appellation and works with the typical Bordeaux blend approach: Cabernet Sauvignon as the backbone, supplemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

In the glass, it shows deep ruby red. On the nose, blackberry and cassis, plus a hint of cedarwood and dark cherry. On the palate, medium body, finely spun tannins, and a fresh acidity that carries the long finish — typical Margaux, not a gram of excess oak. The 2019 vintage was rated 90 points by Wine Spectator.
