2000 Bordeaux Revisited: SIX 100-Pointers! Pristine Provenance GUARANTEED!

 

2000 VINTAGE BORDEAUX HORIZONTAL

BORDEAUX, FRANCE 2000

 

with 100-point scores. This is a rare convergence of a legendary vintage and the most pedigreed estates in the world — a roll call of the elite that includes Margaux, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Haut Brion, Cheval Blanc, and Leoville-Las-Cases. (And please note that their pristine provenance has been ensured by the cellar masters of their estates.)

Could there be a more perfect time, too, to acquire these wines? With nearly a quarter-century of careful aging in the cellars of these legendary estates, they’ve just entered their prime drinking window — though many, of course, will continue to evolve for decades to come.

For me and for many wine lovers, 2000 Bordeaux vintage is the proverbial gift that keeps on giving. It continues to hold on to its legendary status as one of the great years of the past half-century, and critics continue to sing its praises. “There is no doubt,” wrote Neal Martin, in a re-assessment of the 2000 vintage for Vinous published three years ago, that "greatness is in its DNA.” He went on to call it a "vintage that transcends its numerical significance.”

Listen to the critics, and it’s almost impossible to not be seduced:

• Château Margaux: “A prodigious, flawless wine,” deemed Jeb Dunnuck, "that shows the elegance and seductive hallmark of the estate paired with incredible density, depth, and richness … Bordeaux (or red wine, for that matter) doesn’t get any better."
• Château Lafite Rothschild: "Finesse and elegance, truly a wine that makes you contemplate life,” James Suckling opined. “There is really nothing like it."
• Château Latour: "Latour has made truly great wines in the past two decades — and this is one of the best,” Suckling declared. "Mind-blowing on the palate, it’s an emotional and soulful red."
• Château Cheval Blanc: "A wine of exquisite aromatic depth and grace,” pronounced Vinous
• Château Léoville-Las-Cases: “Absolutely fantastic,” Wine Spectator raved. “A benchmark for the vintage."

The 2000 vintage in Bordeaux was that longed-for perfect storm, when ideal conditions met with winemaking mastery. It produced wines of remarkable concentration and structure, yet with a level of finesse and balance that continues to set them apart.
