The 2000 vintage of Château Haut Brion from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France is a monumental wine that exudes elegance and complexity. Upon pouring the 6000mL bottle, the deep ruby colour immediately catches the eye. The nose is greeted with a symphony of aromas, including ripe dark berries, cedar, leather, and subtle hints of tobacco and earth. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and rich, with silky tannins and a velvety texture. Flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate dance on the tongue, while a touch of spice lingers on the finish. The 2000 vintage is considered one of the greatest in recent history, and this bottle of Château Haut Brion lives up to that reputation. It is a wine that demands attention and will only continue to improve with age. Truly a masterpiece from one of France's most esteemed châteaus.
Winemakers Notes
Haut-Brion, a legendary estate The vineyards of Haut-Brion have flourished on gravelly slopes since the 1st century AD. In 1521, Haut-Brion became the first vineyard to be named after its terroir rather than its owner or parish, introducing the concept of a "Grand Vin". Recognised as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it is the only wine outside the Médoc to be so classified and the only one to be double classified as a Grand Cru de Graves, underlining its uniqueness. In 1935, Clarence Dillon acquired Château Haut-Brion and restored it to its former glory. Today, the 4th generation of the family, represented by Prince Robert de Luxembourg, continues his extraordinary vision, bold and courageous. The estate faces La Mission Haut-Brion and shares with it a vast terrace of fine gravel known as Haut-Brion, which appears on ancient maps and charters. The vineyard covers 51 hectares, 48 of which are planted with red grape varieties and 3 with white. Today, the wines produced annually at Haut-Brion embody the full essence of this exceptional terroir.
