Labegorce, takes its name from one of the estates early owners, the Grosse family who held an interest in the land that dates back all the way to the 14th century.
For centuries prior to the French Revolution, Chateau Labegorce was a massive estate, so much so that the lands of their Margaux estate were ordered to be divided which created three separate estates.
Chateau Labegorce, what later became Labegorce Zede and L’Abbe Grosse de Grosse, however, the vineyards of Chateau Labegorce remained the largest of the three Margaux properties.
The wine was produced from a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and aged in 50% new, French oak barrels.
