Château Labégorce’s 2016 Margaux is the kind of Left Bank Bordeaux that turns heads—for its polish, pedigree, and especially for how much it delivers at the price.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, this vintage shows beautifully ripe blackcurrant and plum, graphite, tobacco, and just a hint of savory earth. The 2016 growing season was nearly perfect, and it shows here: the structure is firm yet supple, with fine-grained tannins and a long, lifted finish that speaks clearly of Margaux elegance.

This is the type of Bordeaux you can cellar confidently for another decade, or decant now and enjoy its beautiful balance of fruit and finesse.

Perfect for: roast lamb, steak frites, mushroom dishes, or adding a smart, classic Bordeaux to your rotation without dipping into grand cru pricing.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2016 Labegorce is a dense, potent wine. There is plenty of depth to the copious blackberry jam, plum and chocolate flavors. Rich and forward, the 2016 will drink well with minimal cellaring. I thought the 2016 was a bit more exciting from barrel, but this is nevertheless very nicely done." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

93 points

"The 2016 Labégorce is composed of 52% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aged in 45% new and 55% one-year-old French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps out of the glass with gregarious cassis, kirsch and black raspberries, candied violets, dark chocolate and spearmint. Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh and with exciting intensity, it delivers a fantastically long, fragrant finish." —Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Jancis Robinson

"Very dark blackish crimson. Fragrant and very juicy. Acid more noticeable than tannin. Not a long-distance runner. A bit simple."

Decanter

93 points

"Deep, rich extraction, black cherry in colour with very well controlled aromatics of damson and creamy cappuccino. This is a gorgeous wine and there are going to be many many fans of the contemporary but utterly controlled and well judged flavours on display here. Luscious and big, but everything has a reason for being where it is, nothing superfluous. One of the best ever from this property." —Jane Anson

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Features a core of freshly crushed plum and blackberry fruit, inlaid with singed mesquite, sandalwood and black tea notes. This is on the toasty side in the end, but the texture has a plush edge and there's enough fruit for balance. Drink now through 2031."

Wine Enthusiast

94 points

"This estate on the north side of the village of Margaux is performing at its peak. As befits the vintage it's a rich wine with big tannins. But it also has the style that characterizes a Margaux, with a smooth, perfumed aftertaste."

More about Chateau Labegorce

Margaux's classified growths have an elegant severity that not everyone appreciates. Labegorce embraces that spirit fully—a wine that rewards patience and rewards those who understand that Margaux isn't about power. It's about finesse, cut, and a kind of understated aristocracy.
