Merchant's description

The Perrodo family, owners of Château Labégorce, bought Château Labégorce-Zédé in 2005. From 2009 all wines in the Labégorce-Zédé portfolio ceased to be made and production was merged. This release comes the 1982 vintage, widely regarded as one of the most exceptional and legendary vintages in Bordeaux. It is often referred to as a ‘vintage of the century’ due to the exceptional quality of the wines produced.
