Zédé de Labégorce is the second wine of Château Labégorce, one of Margaux’s oldest estates with a history dating back to the fourteenth century. The estate lies on the plateau to the northwest of Chateau Margaux and just to the north of Chateau Lascombes. In keeping with the rest of the commune, Labégorce produced exceptional wines in 2020. The Zédé de Labégorce shows all of Margaux’s style and elegance but has a powerful structure thanks to the heat and the high levels of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Drinking well now, it has the ability to develop over the next 5 years or more.
Vivino Rating: 4.1 (July 2024)
Taste
The Zédé de Labégorce is very deeply coloured and offers a fine bouquet of black fruits, plums, violets and oriental spices. Plump and juicy, it has a good balance between concentration and freshness, and the blackberry, cherry, and blueberry fruit is nicely set off by minerals and savoury tones.
About the Producer
Château Labégorce has had a strange history. Divided into three properties following the French Revolution, it wasn’t until all three were acquired by the billionaire Perrodo family in 2005 that it came back together. They subsequently merged them into one, so seeing the end of Labégorce Zédé in 2008. Vines lay on sandy gravel with some more silty soils and extend to 70 hectares. They are planted with 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, the rest being given over to Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Significant investment in the property has been made with stainless steel and concrete tanks being installed and 50% new oak barrels used for the Grand Vin.

A blend of two vineyard parcels, Les Planchots and Les Pimentiers, yields a unique combination. While one boasts stony, well-draining soil, the other features a clayey, less profound terrain. The vines, with an average age surpassing 60 years, and some exceeding 90 years, bear modest yields. However, their grapes are distinguished by remarkable ripeness and intense aromatic concentration.
Taste
With a medium intensity colour, the Savigny-Lès-Beaune of the Domaine Decelle & Fils offers an elegant bouquet with morello cherry and blackcurrant dominance. The mouth is supple and fleshy and will evolve with the years towards notes of undergrowth and spices.
About the Producer
Domaine Decelle-Villa was started in 2008 when two distinguished winemakers from other regions of France decided to pool their talents and produce high quality Burgundy wines. Olivier Decelle is the vigneron behind Mas Amiel in Roussillon, and he also revived Château Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion. Pierre-Jean Villa was part of a boutique Rhône negociant, and he is also a Rhone Valley vigneron. Now they have purchased and restored an historic 19th century cellar in Nuits-Saint-Georges along with about 20 acres of vineyards in various Burgundy locations. They also source grapes from Gevrey-Chambertin to Chassagne-Montrachet for their Domaine Decelle-Villa venture. The domaine makes more than a dozen wines, from a Grand Cru and Premiers Crus to village and regional appellations.

96 Points - Luca Maroni. This is a modern take on a classic Amarone. Made using the appassimento method with semi-dried grapes in Tenute Ca 'Botta's patented Fermentino Ca'Botta tank to give even greater richness and body. This opulent, heady wine is aged in 225-litre French oak barrels and allowed to rest in the bottle before release. This is Tenute Ca 'Botta's signature wine, one that is a must-try for lovers of powerful reds.

Wine Press Ratings
96 Points - Luca Maroni (2016)
Bronze Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards (2016)
"This is a rich and complex wine, threaded by sweet tannins and cocooned in oak. Bold and quite beautiful with the right dish."
90 Points - James Suckling (2016)
Taste
Wonderfully deeply coloured, it’s red-black at its core, fading to deep crimson at the rim. The complex bouquet offers stewed black fruits, bitter chocolate, wild herbs and vanilla. In the mouth, it’s luxurious and warming, a heady yet harmonious mix of prunes, black cherries, honey, and thyme before raspberries and almonds fill the finish.
Blend
Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, Corvinone
