Labegorce makes the case that you don't need a classified-growth ranking to drink like Margaux royalty. The Perrodo family, who also own the third-growth Marquis d'Alesme, have invested heavily here, and the wine shows it: this is polished, perfumed Margaux with real refinement. The 2016 is Merlot-led (about 52%) with a healthy dose of Cabernet Sauvignon and dashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, from a near-perfect growing season. Expect ripe blackcurrant and plum lifted by graphite and that signature Margaux elegance. Drinks well now with a decant, or cellar it for a decade or more.
