Critic reviews
"The 2023 Labégorce has a well-defined bouquet with vivacious redcurrant, strawberry and violet scents that could only come from Margaux. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, well-judged acidity that lends just the right amount of tension. Lightly spiced on the finish that lingers in the mouth with pleasing saline notes on the aftertaste. This should age well in bottle."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"Berries, plums, cassis, minerals and hints of roasted spices, white pepper and paprika on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied and fine-boned, with juicy red berries and an evenly packed finish. Long, structured and quite poised. Drink from 2028."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Subdued on the first nose, again showing that parts of Margaux need a little bit of coaxing in this vintage to open up at this early stage. When it does, you find sculpted and deliciously spicy fruit, rose petals, cocoa bean and cassis, with tannic grip that slowly builds though the palate. 32hl/h yield, 62.5ha in production, 25% new oak barrels for ageing, with the rest one year old. Marjolaine de Coninck technical director, Nathalie Perrodo owner."
