Unlike the Dagenham midfielder of the same name, Chateau Labadie does not bite. It does display a little crunch, to be sure, but the overall effect is of harmonious fruit and a woven texture. The Chateau lies on the Gironde side of the Medoc, about ten miles north of St-Estephe and has similar limestone clay and gravel terroirs, with Merlot and Cabernet vines planted accordingly. It`s a Cru Bourgeois, which is a highly contested category these days and so an accolade that actually means something. Jolly well made wine and an ornament to any table. (CW 28/08/15)

The official cru bourgeois insignia is on every bottle that has passed through selection. It’s a great place to begin a journey into classier, if not classed-growth, bordeaux. Amazing value, punching above its weight with lovely juicy, concentrated fruit, plum and blackcurrant, a seam of oak running through it. For steak.
