Château Labégorce is een van de oudste domeinen in Margaux, maar het verhaal van de moderne wederopstanding is het meest interessant. Het huis is niet geclassificeerd in 1855, maar wordt door kenners steevast gezien als Grand Cru Classé-waardig.
Leuke Weetjes & USP’s:
De Grote Hereniging: Decennialang was het oorspronkelijke landgoed opgesplitst in drie delen: Labégorce, Labégorce-Zédé en L'Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse. De overleden eigenaar Hubert Perrodo had één droom: ze weer samenvoegen. In 2005 lukte dit eindelijk. De huidige wijn is dus het resultaat van dit historische herenigde terroir.
Prachtig Kasteel: Het château zelf is een van de mooiste neoklassieke gebouwen in de Médoc. Als u ooit de Route des Châteaux rijdt, is dit een fotomoment waard.
De Giscours Connectie: Het beheer is in handen van hetzelfde team dat het wereldberoemde Château Giscours (3e Grand Cru Classé) runt. U krijgt dus "top-tier" expertise voor een fractie van de prijs.
