The history of Château Labégorce

  

The origin of the estate dates back to the 14th century. The origin of the Château's name is not confirmed, it most likely comes from the owners of the time, the La Bégorce family or from Abbé Gorsse.

 

Following the French Revolution, many family properties were seized by the State, including Château Labégorce, which lost its name in 1795 after being sold and divided into three: Labégorce, Labégorce-Zédé and l'Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse.

 

French billionaire and oil tycoon Hubert Perrodo bought Château Labégorce in 1989 and the other two properties between 2002 and 2005 to reunify the former estate according to historical criteria, allowing Château Labégorce to reclaim its name. His family also owns Château Marquis d'Alesme, a Third Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification.

 

Since then, the Perrodo family has restored Château Labégorce to its former glory and contributes to the architectural renovation and dynamism of the estate.

 

What are the characteristics of Château Labégorce wines?

 

The Château Labégorce property extends over nearly 250 hectares including 70 hectares of vines. Its typical Margaux terroir consists of sandy gravel and some silty soils.

The vineyard's grape variety composition consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

 

The estate produces a great red wine Château Labégorce, with the finesse and elegance of its appellation. A wine with a beautiful structure and fruity aromas that make it both round and powerful.

 

The château also produces a red second wine, "Zédé de Labégorce", a nod to the former Labégorce-Zédé property. The latter should not be confused with Château Labégorce-Zédé, a name still carried by the estate's old vintages produced before reunification.
