2020 is a vintage of elegance, harmony and balance. A medley of black fruits, blackberries, blueberries and red fruits, including strawberries and raspberries. An intense aromatic expression supported by a sharp tannic line.
Best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Labegorce is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.
