The lion's share of the Labégorce estate was sold in 1795 and handed down generation-by-generation to Gustave Zédé, a man who designed France's first submarine. Gustave and his brother, an admiral of the French navy, added their surname to the name of the property. Having been sold again several times, it was brought back into the Labégorce estate in 2005, with the Zédé monicker disappearing. Since 2009 the production of the vineyard has been included in Château Labégorce.
"Nicely silky nose - really Margaux. Silky texture, maybe not the freshest acidity but good round fruit and nicely precise. Not very powerful but very well balanced." Jancis Robinson
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
