Note di degustazione
Charming, easy appeal, brambled autumnal fruits, gentle ash and campfire smoke with a saline soy edge that shows the move into tertiary character. There is no need to wait any longer to drink, and expect a soft slide on the finish. 60% new oak. Served in magnum, a good tip at this point for 2013s wherever possible. 60% new oak, technical director Marjolaine de Coninck.

Toasty, smoky nose that could be accused of obscuring the perfume of the appellation, although it’s an enjoyable flavour anyway. The fruit doesn't quite match it for volume, and there's a lightness to the palate. (RH)
Another major sleeper of the vintage from Margaux, this large estate (over 160 acres) across the Route du Vin from Lascombes has fashioned a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot in 2013. Only 40% of the crop went into the grand vin. Michel Rolland is the consultant, and the general manager is the same as that of the up-and-coming Marquis d’Alesme Becker-Marjolain de Coninck. The wine exhibits attractive plum, black cherry, licorice and forest floor notes presented in a medium-bodied, soft, silky style. Drink this well-made 2013 over the next 5-6 years.

Historically Château Labégorce was one of the largest estates in the Médoc. It was originally owned by the Grosse family (or Gorce – hence the name) whose ownership dates back to the 14th century.
