Château Labégorce 2019
Margaux AOC
Just a stone’s throw from Château Giscours, Labégorce makes appealing Margaux, with all the character of this sought-after commune. This 92-point 2019 punches well above its price and offers very good value indeed when compared to its neighbours.

There's been immense praise from critics for Bordeaux's 2019 vintage, "an extremely high-quality year" wrote Decanter; "a great vintage" put Neal Martin, while Antonio Galloni declared it "an outstanding vintage". Margaux performed very well in 2019, and offers some very smart buys indeed, including Château Labégorce. Unlike many of its neighbours Labégorce wasn’t classified in 1855, meaning that the wines remain today very well priced. With vines on average 30 years old, and several over 100, they yield grapes of tremendous concentration, the flavour of which is flattered and enhanced by ageing for 15 months in half-new oak barrels. With rich, warm plum and ripe berry fruit, and espresso notes, with firm rounded tannins, this is a keeper.
