Bright red-ruby. Aromas of roasted plum, currant, blackberry and tar are lifted by a floral top note and complicated by a whiff of leather. Sweet, silky and densely packed, with impressive thickness of texture leavened by good inner-mouth energy and florality. Fine-grained and very nicely delineated. Finishes long and ripely tannic, with lingering flavors of crushed blackberry, plum, chocolate and minerals. 90 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar

DESCRIPTIONS
xChâteau Labégorce is a Bordeaux wine estate in the appellation of Margaux. It is situated on the plateau just north of the town, due north of Château Lascombes and northwest of Château Margaux itself. Divided into three estates following the French Revolution and reunified by billionaire Hubert Perrodo in the early 21st Century, the estate makes several wines with the grand vin a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend.
The original estate dates back to the 14th Century and the name is likely derived from the original owners. Sources differ, referring to the Gorsse family (and possibly an abbot: L'Abbé Gorsse) or the La Bégorce family.
