Château Margaux line up

Given the size of the Margaux appellation, and its varying terroirs, it’s often hard to generalise on quality, but in 2022 it performed excellently for both classified and non-classified wines.

Château Labégorce, Margaux, Bordeaux, France, 2022

My wines

95

Rich and concentrated on the nose with perfumed notes as well as dark fruit and liquorice spice. Smooth but firm, this has weight and density in the mouth with fleshy black fruit, lively acidity and a long finish with chocolate and mint. Still feels fairly serious, this has broad shoulders and a wide frame but with gorgeously pure and juicy fruit. I like the combination of crunchy acidity and plush tannins, it really works. Excellent mid plate vibrancy. A touch of oak gives a bite to the finish but this will settle.
