An intense and deep purple colour with ink touches. An expressive first nose with notes of violet and liquorice. The aromatic power of the Cabernet Sauvignon gives a developed fruit of blackcurrant, red and black fruits with a peppery touch brought by the Petit Verdot which intensifies the nose. Elegant woodiness reinforces the aromatic complexity of roasting, mocha and cedar. An ample mouth with dense and enveloping black fruit. A beautiful velvety and silky tannic structure which prolongs the finish, a wine full of balance and elegance. A great vintage of Château Marquis de Terme.
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.
