All three plots lie in the northernmost part of the commune. The largest plot, accounting for about two-thirds, lies just northeast of the fine chateau, which was constructed by the renowned architect Courcelles. There is a second plot around the chateau itself, accounting for about a quarter of all the Labégorce vines, while the smallest plot lies a little further north around the church in Soussans. The vines average 30 years of age, with the oldest vines, of which there are just four hectares, dating from between 1902 and 1950. More date from 1951 to 1985, whereas a quarter date from 1989 when extensive replanting took place. Vineyard practices involve careful use of chemicals, with no herbicide used at all, and yields are typically 50 hl\/ha. Harvesting is by hand, and fermentation begins with a short, cold maceration followed by a temperature controlled process. Each parcel of vines, of which there are many, is vinified separately. The blend is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak, 30% of which is new, where the wine spends up to fifteen months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Labegorce","offers":[{"title":"Half Bottle","offer_id":41815427612781,"sku":"VAVPOUJEA3","price":77.48,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41815559372909,"sku":"VAVPOUJEA3-6","price":441.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/chateau-labegorce_540x_b40057a7-3de8-4392-829e-c579554902f8.jpg?v=1725646700"}],"url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/collections\/margaux\/red-wine.oembed","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
