“There’s no denying that he has mastered the art of entertaining and charming. In short, he’s a charmer with a fiery temper! ~ Yves Beck”

“Lush, creamy, silky, and already expressive, this wine is full-bodied, delicate, and creamy, with successive layers of black cherries, plums, red currants, licorice, chocolate, and an underlying note of espresso. Labégorce has been on fire since 2015, and I wouldn’t be surprised—as the wines mature—to find that this is the best vintage produced to date! ” (The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve 2023) - Considered an Assimilé Grand Cru, it’s a dark horse of the Margaux appellation! - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 12 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2022 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable offering, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Following the reorganization of the Perrodo family’s Margaux estates, Labégorce-Zédé merged with Château Labégorce to form a single entity. Marjolaine de Coninck has served as general manager of the estates since 2010. The wines produced continue to have a strong identity, but now exhibit greater modernity, finesse, and elegance.

Decanter

Wine rated (2023 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

A magnificent, fragrant nose of blackcurrant that smells wonderful. Juicy and supple, this wine displays lovely roundness and a full-bodied texture in the glass, while remaining quite concentrated and refined. The tannins are elegant, and the fruit remains consistent from start to finish. It is therefore not very expansive or particularly deep, but it has a pleasant style. Good acidity, concentration, and freshness. Concentrated, dynamic, clean, and precise. Classic, easy to drink, and highly recommended. 2025–2042

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A beautiful neoclassical building standing in the middle of its vineyard, just outside Margaux on the road to Pauillac, this estate has benefited from significant investments since its purchase in 1989 by the Perrodo family, who also own Château Marquis d’Alesme. The 2009 merger with Château Labégorce Zédé allowed it to reclaim its original vineyard (70 ha), the one it had prior to the 1794 division. Nathalie Perrodo-Samani took over management of the family estates in 2006, following the death of her father, Hubert.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The 2020 is a beautifully opulent, full-bodied wine, with oak that still frames it at this stage. The body is there—intense and solid—enough to bring everything together and make this a serious bottle in a few years.

About the estate:

The Perrodo family, owners of the Labégorce, Labégorce-Zédé, and Marquis d’Alesme estates, has decided to unify the two wines under the name Labégorce. The vineyard parcels have been reorganized, and every effort is being made to establish this brand as a benchmark among the unclassified wines of Margaux. Older vintages, sold under the name Labégorce-Zédé, are generally of very high quality.

Vinous

Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

Labégorce 2020 possesses a dark, sumptuous beauty. The 2020 has softened somewhat with aging, but it remains a powerful, dark Margaux. 2025–2040

Rated "Recommended"

Terre de Vins

Wine rated (2021 guide) 93-94/100

About the wine:

A lively profile, with punchy red fruit; the wine is beautifully concentrated on dense, tight, lively, and flavorful dark fruit, centered on a juicy, crisp berry. Nice, well-structured tannins. A warm finish.

Yves Beck

Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

Undeniably, Labégorce has mastered the art of welcoming and charming! The bouquet clearly reflects its aging, complemented by spicy and fruity nuances. This wine doesn’t just seek to please—it also aims to win you over—and it succeeds admirably, at least on the palate! A beautiful balance between full-bodied, fine-grained tannins and a crisp structure. In short, a charmer with character. 2026–2040

The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve

Wine rated (2023 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

Lush, creamy, silky, and already expressive, this wine is full-bodied, delicate, and creamy, with successive layers of black cherries, plums, red currants, licorice, chocolate, and an underlying note of espresso. Labégorce has been on fire since 2015, and as the wines continue to age, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that this is the best vintage produced to date! Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2047.
