Château Labégorce 2016 is a Left Bank Bordeaux red wine from the Margaux appellation. This 2016 vintage is often cited as the most complete of the 2014 to 2016 trilogy at the estate, combining the fruit purity of 2015 with the structural rigour of a cooler year. The bouquet is quintessential Margaux, featuring iodine, blueberry and pencil lead. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a very well-judged acidity that provides a sense of lift and energy. This bottling exhibits a serious, architectural frame with a long, spicy finish defined by its elegance and charming texture.
94 Jane Anson
Concentrated but restrained with old school charm and an abundance of muscular tannins, it's easy to feel the heart of this wine, packed with liqourice, slate, black chocolate, cassis, brambled hedgerow, aniseed and fennel, with plenty of grip. Years ahead of it, an impressive wine in this exceptional vintage, offering good value. Harvest September 4 to October 21. 50% new oak, technical director Marjolaine de Coninck.Jane Anson22nd March 2023

The 2016 Labégorce has a more introspective bouquet than its peers – a bashful Margaux, although with time I suspect it will gain more intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, a little pinched toward the second half, with cedar and graphite on the aftertaste. Broody at the moment - cellaring required. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting. Neal Martin1st August 2020

Tasted blind. Bright dark crimson. Very rich and dramatic on the nose, as though there were a lot of Merlot here. Non classic but it does offer drama! (JR)Jancis Robinson11th February 2026
