Château Labégorce 2020

Château Labégorce presents a structured and aromatic red wine from Margaux

The property

With its elegant neoclassical style, the Château Labégorce is a property of the Margaux appellation renowned for several centuries for the quality of its wines. In 1989, the Perrodo family acquired this vintage and infused the property with a beautiful energy to restore all its brilliance by highlighting its great terroir.

The vineyard

The vineyard of Château Labégorce extends over 70 hectares of vines, on the greatest sandy-gravelly and sandy-loamy terroirs of the Margaux appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux.

The vintage

If the heavy rainfall of winter replenishes the water reserves, the mildness of spring promotes the development of the vine. The particularly hot summer does not impact the vines, due to sufficient water reserves and the meticulous care given to the plots by the château's teams (installation of mulch between the rows, reduction of soil work, management of the leaf surface by limiting leaf removal to protect the bunches).

By mid-August, stormy episodes promote the continuation of the vine cycle, which is in perfect health until the harvest.

Vinification and aging

Aging in barrels (40% new, 60% of a wine) from large French forests (Belleme, Moselle, Allier, Rambouillet).

Blend

The Château Labégorce 2020 is made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon (50%), merlot (45%), cabernet franc (3%) and petit verdot (2%).
