Vinous

The 2020 Labégorce is a dark, sumptuous beauty. The 2020 has softened a bit with élevage, but it remains a distinctly potent, brooding Margaux. 12/2022

Vinous

The 2020 Labegorce, matured in 40% new oak, has a fragrant, floral bouquet with wilted rose petals infusing the lively red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. There is something "airy" about the aromatics here. The palate is slightly honeyed in texture, saturated tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit commingling with white pepper and iodine. Great persistence and salinity on the finish - an excellent, quite substantial Margaux for long-term ageing. 12/2022

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

The 2020 Labégorce has turned out nicely, bursting with aromas of cherries, berries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and ample palate. Fleshy and layered, this contemporary-styled Margaux will drink well young. 04/2023

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr et suave. Bouche au toucher raffiné, au corps élancé, avec de la minutie dans la réalisation. Jolie finale parfumée et même la plus parfumée que je connaisse. Grain fin. Assemblage : 50 % cabernet sauvignon, 45 % merlot, 3 % cabernet franc, 2 % petit verdot. Degré d’alcool : 14° - pH : 3,62.

A tight, compact Labégorce with blackcurrant, walnut and some graphite. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a solid core of tannins and fruit. Some lead pencil. Very structured for this estate.
