Chateau Labegorce Margaux Cru Bourgeois

A classic Margaux that showcases the elegance of the left bank without much fanfare: fine structure, dark fruit, velvety finish.

Château Labégorce lies in the heart of the Margaux appellation, surrounded by Grand Crus Classés. The estate is among the most consistent Crus Bourgeois of the appellation and works with the typical Bordeaux blending approach: Cabernet Sauvignon as the backbone, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot .

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red. The nose offers blackberry and cassis, along with a hint of cedar and dark cherry. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with finely spun tannins and a fresh acidity that carries the long finish—typical Margaux, not an ounce of excessive oak. The 2019 vintage was awarded 90 points by Wine Spectator .
