Château Labégorce Margaux 2011
This is at a lovely moment to start drinking, filled with crayon, mint, cocoa bean, black fruits, earth. Feels very Left Bank, Médoc, old school charm, not as polished as you would find in this estate today but with heart, plus the austere tannins that are typical of the vintage. Labégorce had been bought by Hubert Perrodo in 1989, the first estate that he bought in Bordeaux, so this was five years in to the new ownership, and with the new technical team under Marjolaine de Coninck in place since 2010. 60% new oak.
