2022 Chateau Labegorce Margaux

2022 Château Labégorce (Margaux AOC)

Blend Composition: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon / 45% Merlot / 3% Cabernet Franc / 2% Petit Verdot

Aged in 40% new oak

Appearance: Deep ruby with youthful violet edges; excellent clarity and saturation.

Nose: Perfumed and expressive: blackberries, cherries, plums, and liquorice spice. Lifted aromatics of violets, mint, graphite, and clove. Subtle oak influence adds cedar and chocolate tones.

Palate: Medium to full-bodied with chewy yet juicy tannins. Rich layers of dark berry fruit, earth-laden tobacco, and cola-like freshness. Excellent acidity provides vibrancy, while the tannins are textured and well-defined.

Long, energetic finish with a touch of mint, oak spice, and mineral tension.

Combines Margaux elegance with a modern sense of ripeness and polish. Not overly dense, but refined and approachable, with aging potential through 2045
