Château Labégorce

Margaux

From the thorn bushes suggested by the etymology of “gorsse” to the splendid vineyards of Labégorce today, generations of lords and farmers have succeeded one another since 1332 to shape the identity of Château Labégorce.

A STORY

In few words

Hubert Perrodo instantly fell in love with the estate in 1989, following in the footsteps of those who have cherished this land over the centuries. The encounter of this historic Margaux terroir with the ideals of a visionary patriarch signalled a new chapter in the history of Labégorce, culminating in the bold challenge of reunifying the estate, which was once divided into three (Labégorce Margaux, Labégorce Zédé and L’abbé Gorsse de Gorsse).

Labégorce evokes the heart and soul of this place, where great wines have been made for centuries. A brilliantly fruity wine with great finesse, a wine that brings people together, a place where people care for each other.

Today, on behalf of her family, Nathalie Perrodo Samani is responsible for looking after Château Labégorce, as well as the classified great growth Châteaux Marquis d’Alesme Becker, and La Tour de Mons, both historic Margaux growths.

A WINE THAT COMES FROM THE HEART

Labégorce is a much-loved estate where others matter. For the Perrodo family, it is a place of cherished memories, laughter, bike rides and polo matches. Labégorce is also a wine that brings people together and is close to our hearts.

A MARGAUX NOT TO BE MISSED

A benchmark since 1332, the estate has experienced spectacular growth under the Perrodo family’s leadership. In 2005, Hubert Perrodo embarked on an ambitious project: to unite the three historic estates to recreate the illustrious Labégorce estate. Today, Nathalie Perrodo is continuing this momentum with large-scale projects, notably a gravity-fed winery equipped with 52 small concrete vats, as well as a highly organised technical infrastructure that guarantees consistent quality and a style emblematic of Margaux. Often compared to a Cru Classé due to the quality of its wines, Labégorce derives its nobility from its terroir, which neighbours the appellation’s iconic estates, notably Château Margaux, Lascombes, Malescot St Exupéry and the Marquis d’Alesme. Although the turmoil of history and family disputes prevented it from being included in the 1855 classification, this injustice has now been rectified, and the harmony restored over the past century has enabled Labégorce to reclaim its rightful place amongst the great estates of Margaux.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY

Whilst remaining an affordable option, Labégorce upholds a principle dear to the Perrodo family, for whom success is not measured solely by price.
