  Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Nach so viele kalten und unnahbaren Margaux war es eine richtige Wohltat an diesem Bouquet riechen zu dürfen, feine Röstnote, reife Frucht, Maulbeeren und ein Hauch von Caramel, im Finale lang und aromatisch. Hat viel Spass bereitet. Und genau so viel Spass und Freude wird er in seiner Reife bereiten. Er gehört zu den Besten! Bravo!"

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2014 Labégorce is one those "dark horses" of the vintage, a wine that has a prosperous future. It has a lovely, very pure and sensual bouquet with lifted redcurrant and wild strawberry scents that really evoke the essence of Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well -udged acidity, good concentration with a satisfying raspberry preserve-infused finish that demonstrates superb persistence. I adored this Labégorce from barrel and now in bottle it does nothing to disprove my initial enthusiasm. Top Margaux ahoy!"

  This is a firm wine, dominated by tannins and dark layers of wood. The black-currant fruit is there to burst out as the wine matures over the next few years. The estate is close to the river, on a dense gravel rise, near Château Margaux."

  Soft textures, earthy, red fruits, flowers cherries and thyme with a medium/full body has improved from barrel to bottling."

  Wine Spectator
  Open, with a caressing feel to the mix of violet, plum and anise notes. Twinges of licorice snap and bay show on the finish, but this stays relatively graceful overall. A very pretty display of fruit. Drink now through 2026. 10,000 cases made."

  Either you’ll like the hints of bell pepper and mint to this or not, but there’s a ton of blackcurrant and blackberry fruit. It’s medium-bodied with moderately dry tannins balanced out by a hint of sweetness. Good but not great length."
