The balance and richness of a Margaux red wine
The estate
With its elegant neoclassical style, Chateau Labegorce is a property in the Margaux appellation, renowned for several centuries for the quality of its wines. In 1989, the Perrodo family acquired this estate and invested their energy to elevate it to the height of its potential and to bring out the very best of this great terroir on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.
