Château Labégorce-Zédé

The vineyard 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classified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2003 in the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid. The origins of the estate date back to the 14th century. The neighbouring Château Labégorce and L'Abbé de Gorsse de Gorsse, as well as the present one, were created following a division after the French Revolution. The latter was bought by Barthélémy Benoist in 1795. His daughter and heiress married a Jean-Emile Zédé, whose son Pierre gave the estate its present name in 1840.

After changing hands several times, it was bought by Luc Thienpont in 1979 and finally passed to the industrialist Hubert Perrodo (+2006) in 2005, who had already acquired Château Labégorce in 1989. His tragic death in a skiing accident prevented the realisation of the plan to reunite the three wine estates into one. The vineyards cover 27 hectares of vines with Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (35%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (5%). The long-lasting red wine is aged for 18 months in 50% new barriques. The second wine is called "Domaine Zédé". The red wine "Z de Zédé", which is marketed under Bordeaux Supérieur, is produced from a nine-hectare vineyard that does not belong to the Margaux AOC.
