Château Labégorce

Producer description of "Château Labégorce"

The winery is located in the municipality of Castelnau-de-Médoc in the Margaux area of the Médoc (Bordeaux). It was last classified as a "Cru Bourgeois Supérieur" in the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid, in 2003. The origins of the estate date back to the 14th century. The neighbouring Château Labégorce-Zédé and L'Abbé de Gorsse de Gorsse, as well as the present estate, were created following a division after the French Revolution. The manor house in the style of Louis XVI was completed in 1821.

In 1865, the estate was acquired by Fortuné Beaucourt, a mayor of Margaux. After changing hands several times, it finally became the property of the industrialist Hubert Perrodo (+2006) in 1989. The vineyards cover 30 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (45%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (2%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 to 15 months in barriques, one third of which are new. The second wine is called "Château Tour de Laroze". The red wine "La Mouline de Labégorce", which is marketed under the Haut-Mèdoc AOC, is produced from a four-hectare vineyard that is not part of the Margaux AOC.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
