Château Labégorce - Zédé de Labégorce
Hubert Perrodo bought Chateau Labégorce in 1989, then L'Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse in 2002 and finally Labégorce Zédé in 2005. By reunifying the prestigious vineyard divided by history, Hubert Perrodo, a business developer and industrialist, achieved the goal he had set for himself. All around the Château Labégorce, these great Margaux Crus Burgeois once again share their future together. His daughter Nathalie now manages the estate. To regain the estate nobility, she surrounded herself with a motivated and competent team, directed by the oenologist Marjolaine Maurice-de-Coninck.
