The Labegorce is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that was picked between 15 September and 20 October. Cropped at 38 hl/ha and matured in new oak, it has a sumptuous bouquet with macerated black cherries, wild strawberry and a touch of fresh prune. The palate is well balanced and much more reserved than the aromatics: crisp and firm tannin, nicely focused with a pleasing salinity on the structured finish that suggest that this Labegorce will reward long-term ageing.
