Another winner from Margaux is the 2018 Château Labégorce, which is an interesting blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot (although I was given slightly different blends for the two samples tasted). Aging in 40% new oak, this deeply colored effort offers a beautiful perfume of blueberries, raspberries, flowers, and spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, has remarkable purity, and fine tannins, and should be approachable right out of the gate. It’s worth mentioning this estate has been managed by Marjolaine de Coninck since 2009, and it’s a rocking value in the market today. Tasted twice.HK$2,980.00 -

Gorgeous notes of red, blue, and black fruits as well as sandalwood, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and spicy notes emerge from the 2019 Château Labégorce, one of the richer, more opulent, and straight-up sexy wines in the vintage. A blend of 46% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all raised in 40% new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, has beautifully integrated oak, a stacked mid-palate, and one heck of a great finish. Drink this rich, sensationally textured Margaux any time over the coming two decades. It’s unquestionably in the same league as the 2015, 2016, and 2018.HK$1,245.00 -

I continue to love the wines from this estate in Margaux, and the 2020 Château Labegorce is no exception. Rock star crème de cassis, graphite, roasted herbs, iron, and loamy earth nuances all define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a relatively soft, plush, forward style, good mid-palate density, and wonderful purity of fruit. It’s going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and drink nicely for 15-20 years. It should be a terrific value as well.HK$1,650.00 -

I loved the 2021 Château Labégorce and I'd certainly be a happy buyer. Red and black fruits, graphite, tobacco, and some freshly sharpened pencil-like notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. Based on 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 35% new oak, it will drink nicely for a solid 10-15 years.HK$1,790.00 -

Tasted on multiple occasions, the inky-hued 2022 Château Labégorce (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) reveals a perfumed, intense nose of ripe black cherries, cassis, spicy oak, and violets. This carries to an exotic, full-bodied Margaux that brings beautiful purity, a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a big, powerful wine that I wouldn't be surprised to see close down over the coming 3-4 years. It will evolve for at least two decades.HK$760.00 -

(12x75cl) 2023Vinous - Neal Martin (93)
The 2023 Labégorce has a well-defined bouquet with vivacious redcurrant, strawberry and violet scents that could only come from Margaux. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, well-judged acidity that lends just the right amount of tension. Lightly spiced on the finish that lingers in the mouth with pleasing saline notes on the aftertaste. This should age well in bottle.HK$2,400.00 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-89)
Red-ruby. Sappy, fruit-driven aromas of cherry and raspberry. Sweet, supple and rather easygoing; suggests gentle extraction. Offers good intensity and should give early pleasure. Finishes with smooth tannins and very good length.HK$5,140.00 -

(6x75cl) 2009Decant your palate to the timeless taste of Labet Dechelette Clos Vougeot 2009. Exclusively hailing from the historic Clos de Vougeot vineyard in the heart of Burgundy, France, this fine wine carries a prestigious lineage. The exquisite Burgundian terroir elegantly reflects in this rare vintage, where choice Pinot Noir grapes were hand-harvested, carefully selected, and traditionally vinified.
This exceptional offering from the renowned Labet Dechelette winery tantalises with a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, subtly layered with rich chocolate undertones and harmoniously balanced by a refined minerality. The 2009 harvest was notably hot, lending beautifully concentrated aromas and flavours to the wine, while ample ageing time has awarded it a sophisticated structure.
One sip of the Labet Dechelette Clos Vougeot 2009 invites an enchantingly smooth finish and persistent aftertaste, making it an irresistible choice for any discerning wine connoisseur. An investment in this wine is an investment in remarkable viticultural craftsmanship.

(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (91)
The 2018 Beaune Coucherias 1er Cru maybe does not quite possess the delineation of the Clos du Dessus despite being a Premier Cru. It does evolve with aeration to offer brambly red fruit, freshly tilled earth and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, fleshy and nicely focused. A touch of hickory appears toward the finish. Very fine, though I like the Marconnets just as much.HK$3,055.00
