Chateau Labegorce Margaux AOC 2022

The 2022 Château Labégorce offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the best of this renowned appellation. With its captivating aromatics and impressive palate, this wine is a must-have for any serious collector or discerning enthusiast.

As a distinguished Margaux wine, it opens with a rich and inviting nose of ripe berry, plum, and crème de cassis. Underlying notes of cedar, roasted aromas, and delicate floral hints of lilac add to its complexity. The palate is powerful, showcasing ripe, juicy fruit, beautiful concentration, and appealing fine-grained tannins that lead to a harmonious finish.

This exquisite wine is crafted from a 62.5-hectare vineyard within the AOC Margaux, supplemented by 4.5 hectares in the Haut-Médoc appellation. The vines, averaging 30 years in age, thrive on the typical sandy-gravelly, sandy-silty, and clay-limestone soils of the Margaux appellation, contributing significantly to the wine's unique character.

The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring optimal quality. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled concrete vats, allowing for precise control over the fermentation process. The wine is then aged in barrels, with 40% new oak, which further enhances its structure, complexity, and longevity.

Serves 16-18 C with roast beef, Ossobuco stew or aged cheeses.
