Labegorce
Château Labegorce is situated close to Château Lascombes, and the estate has been on a steadily upswing since it was acquired by the Perrodo family in 1989. Hubert Perrodo was tragically killed in a skiing accident in 2006, but his daughter Nathalie now runs all the family estates extremely ably. Readers will recall the almost unbelievable ascent of Château Marquis d’Alesme in recent years … well that estate is also owned and managed by Nathalie Perrodo.
The recent arrival of Marjolaine de Coninck (as General Director) and the well-known oenologist Claude Gros have further improved the vineyard quality and winery facilities via significant investment. And of course, as a Margaux Third Growth, the underlying terroir has never been in question. Today Labegorce is an “estate on the uptick” (Jeb Dunnuck) which is finally “performing at its peak” (Wine Enthusiast).

Vinous - Neal Martin (87)The 1978 Labégorce-Zédé comes from a Margaux estate that was subsumed into Labégorce back in 2009. To be frank, I was not expecting a great deal, yet it has a charming nose. Yes, it is filled to the brim with brettanomyces but has lovely meat juice aromas. The palate is very savoury at first and then develops potent espresso-like notes. Fades a little in the glass, but no complaints. Drink soon if you have a bottle. Tasted blind at Medlar restaurant dinner. |
