‘The 2021 Labégorce is a powerful, driving wine. It is not exactly subtle, but it definitely packs a good punch. Black cherry, gravel, incense, spice, licorice and scorched earth abound. This is a decidedly savory/earthy Margaux, with burly contours and a few rough edges, but overall it’s enjoyable. 2024-2033’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100

‘Cloves, cocoa bean and coffee, intense tannins and grilled oak with plenty of character, and the winemaking team has done a good job over ageing to emphasise a signature Left Bank character that is missing in so many wines this year. Cool vintage slim and graceful blue and black fruits, mouthwatering with liqourice root and slate. Harvest September 23 to October 19. Limestone subsoil, with clay and gravel, 3.75ph. 2024-2036’ - Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 92/100

‘Plump and slightly full expression for the vintage, the ageing have added some fat to the tannins - almost chewy with fresh acidity - strawberry and red cherry flavours and prominent minerality. The frame is taking over some of the fruity fun, but this is well presented with some character and liveliness. Great acidity and bounce to the palate. Not weighty as such and the fruit doesn't quite last to the finish with a cola and liquorice end but this is well worked. I like it. Tasty and really well delivered. 2025-2035’ - Georgina Hindle, Decanter, 91/100

‘Aromas of minty dark berries, licorice and grilled meats introduce the 2021 Labégorce, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's unusually rich and sweet for the vintage, concluding with a carnal finish. 2025-2035’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 88/100

‘Friendly, with an up-front mix of red and black cherry fruit, backed by a lightly firm spine of cedar and alder. Ends with a light herbaceous echo. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2027. 12,000 cases made.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 87/100

‘Mid-deep ruby. Oily fruit and smoky wood spice show on the nose. Chalky, an immediate structural grip comes together with a lick of wood spice. The palate tails off in fruit, just lacking a little oomph on the finish. 2025-2036’ - Tom Parker MW, JancisRobinson.com, 15/20
