The Story Behind the Bottle
There is much praise from critics for the 2021 vintage. Antoni Galloni describes them as “gorgeous, classically built wines that will absolutely thrill readers who appreciate freshness and energy”, while Neal Martin called them “a welcome return to a classic style of Bordeaux”. James Suckling remarked that “they will age very nicely”. That’s certainly true of Labégorce, an excellent buy. Unlike many of its neighbours this estate wasn’t classified in 1855, meaning that the wines remain very well priced. With vines on average 30 years old, some over 100, they yield grapes of superb concentration, the flavour of which is flattered by ageing in 40% new oak barrels. With warm cassis, plum and walnut notes with firm tannins, this is a keeper.
