It is situated on the plateau just north of the town, due north of Château Lascombes and northwest of Château Margaux itself. Divided into three estates following the French Revolution and reunifed by billionaire Hubert Perrodo in the early 21st Century, the estate makes several wines with the grand vin a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend. The original estate dates back to the 14th Century and the name is likely derived from the original owners. Sources differ, referring to the Gorsse family (and possibly an abbot: L'Abbé Gorsse) or the La Bégorce family. In either case, the property was one of the largest in the Médoc and, in keeping with many private family holdings, was seized by the state during the French Revolution. It was sold off, breaking the estate into three, creating Château Labégorce, the unusually named (and rarely encountered) Château de L'Abbé Grosse de Grosse, and Château Labégorce-Zédé (presumably from the French \"ceder\" – to cede). Millionaire oil magnates, the Perrodo family bought Labégorce in 1989 and largely reunified the old estate by buying the château and part of the vineyard of L'Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse in 2002. In 2005, the family finally acquired Château Labegorce Zédé. Although Hubert Perrodo, the man behind the initial takeovers, died in a hiking accident near Courchevel in 2006, the family, overseen by widow Ka Yee (Carrie) Wong Perrodo, continued to add to their vineyard holdings in the area. The family also owns the Margaux Third Growth Château Marquis d'Alesme and in 2019 finalised its acquisition of Château La Tour de Mons (also in Margaux) The soil in the combined Labégorce estate is mostly sandy gravel with some more silty soils. It extends to around 70 hectares (170 acres) and is planted with around 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 40 percent Merlot with the remainder Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A proportion of the vines were planted in the 1950s. The wines are made in a combination of cement tanks and stainless steel vats. The grand vin is aged for around 15 months in French oak barrels, around a half of which are new – although this can change from vintage to vintage. Château Labegorce's portfolio of wines comprises a single grand vin and a second wine, Zédé de Labegorce – a nod to the former Labégorce-Zédé property. This new second wine can be confused by some retailers with Château Labegorce Zédé, which ceased production after the 2008 vintage.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-10T12:42:59-05:00","created_at":"2023-03-07T03:07:29-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini0703","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Labégorce","Region_Margaux","Source_Wevino0323","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":14395,"price_min":14395,"price_max":14395,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42826277486730,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Château Labégorce | Margaux","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":14395,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/19_3d910391-d072-4aba-9f64-0be9b08138ee.png?v=1678176606"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/19_3d910391-d072-4aba-9f64-0be9b08138ee.png?v=1678176606","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Château Labégorce | Margaux at CaskCartel.com","id":24343310139530,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.309,"height":803,"width":248,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/19_3d910391-d072-4aba-9f64-0be9b08138ee.png?v=1678176606"},"aspect_ratio":0.309,"height":803,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/19_3d910391-d072-4aba-9f64-0be9b08138ee.png?v=1678176606","width":248}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Château Labégorce | Margaux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep purple\/plum color is followed by a complex, medium to full-bodied, seamless Margaux that has complexity as well as depth and richness.
