Space limitations did not allow complete tasting notes for this Cru Bourgeois, but 2005 is the finest vintage for these wines since 1982. The range of scores for these wines should give readers an idea of just how consistent this vintage is at this level. Given the style of the vintage, most of these wines should be accessible young yet evolve for a decade or more because of their concentration and tannic structure.

Château Labégorce is a historic wine estate located in the Margaux appellation of the Bordeaux region in France. The château has a rich history dating back to the 14th century, though its wine production is noted from around the 18th century. It is one of the notable properties in Margaux known for producing refined and elegant red wines.

**Location and Terroir:**
Château Labégorce is situated in the northern part of the Margaux appellation, an area celebrated for its deep gravel soils, which are ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the primary varietals used in the blend. The terroir in Margaux is renowned for producing wines that are both aromatic and possess a silky texture with complex flavors.

**Wine Production:**
The estate covers an area of about 70 hectares, with vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a small percentage of Petit Verdot. This varietal mix is typical for the Left Bank of Bordeaux, where Cabernet Sauvignon often dominates the blend, contributing structure and longevity to the wines, while Merlot adds softness and richness.

**Winemaking:**
At Château Labégorce, traditional winemaking methods are employed, including fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and aging in French oak barrels, of which a portion is new. This helps to impart subtle oak flavors and assists in the tannin development without overpowering the wine’s natural fruit essence.

**Wines and Character:**
The wines of Château Labégorce are known for their classic Margaux elegance, displaying a fine balance between aromatic complexity and textural finesse. They typically feature flavors of dark berries, violets, and hints of tobacco and cedar, evolving significant depth and nuance with age.

**Recent Developments:**
The estate was unified in the early 2000s when the late Hubert Perrodo managed to consolidate the vineyards of Labégorce, some parts of which had been split off into other estates in previous centuries. Since then, Château Labégorce has increased its reputation, consistently producing wines that are reflective of the Margaux terroir.

Château Labégorce continues to be recognized for its quality and value within the prestigious Margaux appellation, appealing to both new wine enthusiasts and seasoned collectors.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation.

The finest (and most expensive) of these are the wines from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former is focused (at the top level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter pair on on Merlot.

The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines based on Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. These range from dry whites to challenge the best from the Burgundy region (Pessac-Léognan is particularly renowned) to the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.
