The 2022 Labégorce is a potent, imposing wine. Dark red fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather and cedar are all dialed up. The oak imprint is quite strong, but otherwise, this is nicely done. I do wonder whether or not more finesse is possible. 01/2025

The 2022 Labégorce has quite an intense nose, armed with pure black cherry, boysenberry, cedar and pencil box aromas. It's perhaps less floral than its peers, with a nod toward Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied and silky smooth, with saturated tannins and a keen line of acidity. Composed and sensual on the finish, this is a classy Margaux in the vein of Château Palmer. This is very impressive. 01/2025

Tasted on multiple occasions, the inky-hued 2022 Château Labégorce (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) reveals a perfumed, intense nose of ripe black cherries, cassis, spicy oak, and violets. This carries to an exotic, full-bodied Margaux that brings beautiful purity, a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a big, powerful wine that I wouldn't be surprised to see close down over the coming 3-4 years. It will evolve for at least two decades. 02/2025

Ce cru goûté deux fois fait un grand bond en avant depuis les Primeurs. Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr et légèrement solaire. Il évolue plus captivant que jamais à l'agitation du verre. Bouche charnue et savoureuse, puissante, juteuse, tout en chair et longue. C'est très bon. 02/2025

The blackcurrant and blackberry aromas are very attractive here. It’s medium-bodied with firm and silky tannins and a pretty finish. Not the most complex wine, but focused and complete. Drink after 2028. 01/2025
