Wine Spectator
"Château Labadie, a Cru Bourgeois in the Médoc, located in Bégadan, ranks highly in Le Point's tastings. Coup de coeur in 2011, the same vintage with which it won the Coupe des Crus Bourgeois today. A remarkably balanced, fresh wine, a true Medoc at an extremely reasonable price". (Le Point). The Coupe des Crus Bourgeois is organized by the Alliance des Crus Bourgeois in partnership with Le Point magazine. Château Labadie is the winner of the 2014 edition among 183 cuvées.

Médoc
Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
From 4ha in 1970, when it was acquired by Yves Bibey, this property on the tip of the Médoc has grown to almost 50ha today. After gaining experience in Australia, Yves's son Jérôme has taken over the reins of this Cru Bourgeois, with its notable consistency in quality and volumes that are by no means negligible. A sure bet.
Merlot predominates (53%) in this deep-red Medoc, which develops a discreet bouquet of dark berries, spices and roasting. The palate is long, full-bodied, smooth and concentrated, supported by ripe tannins. A charming, well-balanced wine.

Very pleasant and easy to combine, with a hint of woodiness. Good everyday value for money.

Superb Medoc, everything is there; power, roundness, length. In my opinion, can wait until 2018 easily.

Good wine, needs to age several years. Drink again in at least 8 to 10 years to see how it evolves.
