2019 Chateau Labegorce

ABOUT THE WINE. Nestled adjacent to renowned estates like Château Margaux and Château Lascombes, Château Labégorce boasts a rich history dating back to 1332, as recorded in the 1868 edition of Cocks and Feret's Bordeaux and its Wines. It was described as "one of the most exquisite and well-situated properties in the town of Margaux." Purchased by the Perrodo family in 1989, the estate underwent extensive renovations to its château and vineyard, elevating winemaking techniques. Today, Château Labégorce is celebrated for producing wines with exceptional structure, fresh fruit, and remarkable finesse. The Perrodo family also owns Château Marquis d'Alesme, a third-growth Margaux, reinforcing their reputation for crafting top-tier Bordeaux wines.. TASTING NOTES. The 2019 Château Labégorce showcases a deep garnet-purple hue and a captivating bouquet of blackcurrant, kirsch, and raspberries, with delightful undertones of violets, dark chocolate, and mint. Medium-bodied with silky tannins, it delivers an elegant and fresh palate, concluding with a long, aromatic finish that embodies the finesse of Margaux wines.. FOOD PAIRING. This Margaux pairs beautifully with truffle aioli-topped chicken heart and liver croquettes, seared venison with wild sorrel reduction, and potatoes dauphinoise. Its elegance and depth also make it an excellent choice for fine dining occasions.
