2019 and 2020 Labegorce

[JimHow]

I tried each of these wines again in the past couple weeks and ordered another case of each, I now have like 16 bottles of each in my cellar. Chateau Labergorce is smoking! Both of these wines are brilliant and if you were going to ask me blind which appellation, maybe I'm being overly enthusiastic in the moment, but I would vote without hesitation... Margaux. I've been so enthusiastic about the 2019 and 2020 Bordeaux vintages. The pricing has been like, what?, how can you buy from the US or any other region? I mean, these two vintages of Labegorce closer to $30 than $40? Really? Tell me where that compares anywhere in the world, I'm here to listen, I'm guessing I'm going to fight you. Folks, every BWEer should have a case of 2019 and 2020 Labegorce in their cellar. You can get both of them in the $30 range, they are both drinkable now and for the next 20+ years, and, most importantly, they are very much "Margaux".... 2019 has typically been slightly more structured than the slightly more ebullient 2020s but in this case I truly can't pick which I like better, the 2019 or 2020 Labegorce, so, when factoring in the PRICE (a HUGE factor, in my book), I'm rating both of these wines 95+ points. These are STUNNING Margaux appellation efforts at stunning prices. You are insane not to buy a case each of these two Labegorce vintages.

Well said and couldn't agree more. Labergorce have been on fire for a while now - I remember being really impressed with the 16 which I stocked up on. I don't yet have any of the 19 but do have some 2020 already and some 2021 pending delivery. Its exceptional value.

Agreed, IJ, I have a case of 2016 Labegorce in my cellar that I'll likely crack open at the ten year mark. This is such a classy, serious wine. The value is tremendous.

Labegorce is a good wine, but it has never gotten me really excited.

I prefer, by far, La Lagune, which costs 5-7 Euros more than Labegorce.

Thanks for the heads up Jim…I managed to buy six bottles of the 2016 just now for £16.90 each ex tax

Wow great score, Ian! These guys obviously have a proprietary interest but I agree with everything they have to say about Labegorce:
