Château Labégorce Margaux 2020 is an excellent representative of the renowned Margaux appellation in the heart of the Bordeaux region in south-west France. Château Labégorce, whose roots date back to the 18th century, stands for elegance, sophistication and a deep understanding of traditional Bordeaux winemaking. The 2020 vintage benefited from a particularly favorable climate: a warm, dry summer with occasional rainfall in August ensured optimally ripened grapes with excellent concentration and freshness.
The 2020 cuvée is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Merlot (45%), supplemented by smaller proportions of Petit Verdot (2%) and Cabernet Franc (3%) - a classic composition that reflects the character of Margaux wines.
In the glass, the wine is a deep, dark ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a complex interplay of aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and cherry, accompanied by fine notes of cedar wood, licorice, tobacco and roasted coffee - a typical expression of the careful barrique maturation.
On the palate, Château Labégorce 2020 is powerful and elegant at the same time. The tannins are silky but present, while the acidity structure lends the wine freshness and longevity. The medium to full body is carried by dark fruit, fine spice and mineral depth. The finish is long and balanced, with a hint of graphite and elegant wood notes.
Château Labégorce 2020 is considered by many critics to be one of the best vintages of the house in the last decade. Renowned wine critics such as James Suckling awarded it up to 92-93 points, while Wine Advocate and Vinous also emphasized the wine's balance and depth. The excellent ageing potential is particularly praised: the wine is already accessible now, but promises a rewarding development in the bottle over the next 15 to 20 years.
