Powerful, intense, bitter aniseed, cardamon and crushed almonds on the finish, cocoa-mint, shows the intensity and black pepper kick of the vintage, balanced by waves of orange peel and fennel. Ripe but the fruit stays on the right side of savoury, and the tannins are intense without being drying. 40% new oak for ageing. Nathalie Perrodo, Marjolaine de Coninck CEO and technical director.

The 2022 Labégorce has quite an intense nose, armed with pure black cherry, boysenberry, cedar and pencil box aromas. It's perhaps less floral than its peers, with a nod toward Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied and silky smooth, with saturated tannins and a keen line of acidity. Composed and sensual on the finish, this is a classy Margaux in the vein of Château Palmer. This is very impressive. Score: 94 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2027-2045 12 February 2025 |

The 2022 Labégorce is a potent, imposing wine. Dark red fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather and cedar are all dialed up. The oak imprint is quite strong, but otherwise, this is nicely done. I do wonder whether or not more finesse is possible. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2028-2042 28 January 2025 |

I continue to love the wines from Labégorce. Their 2022 checks in as 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Classic notes of darker currants, blackberries, smoked tobacco, and fresh earth all flow to a medium to full-bodied, pure, layered Margaux offering quality tannins as well as terrific purity of fruit. Pulled from 85% of the total production and aging in 40% new French oak, it's going to offer pleasure right out of the gate yet still have two decades of longevity.
