CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 2000

Wine 2000 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

To drink between 2010 and 2050
The year 2000 was vegetative and relatively early with a temperature sum above average and normal rainfall. The humidity at the end of May and early June favored the appearance of mildew, but the vigilance of the vineyard technicians was not found wanting. The end of summer was characterized by good weather conditions, with a hot and dry August and September which produced extremely ripe grapes.
Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 presents a very dark color with violet reflections. The aromas of this Premier Cru Classé are sumptuous and captivating. The palate is both powerful and of great finesse, with a remarkable tannic structure and length.

Well, well, well - Lafite Rothschild does it again. Ever since manager Charles Chevalier was transferred from his beloved Sauternes property of Rieussec (also owned by the Rothschilds) to Lafite in 1994, there has been a succession of profound wines to emerge from this noble estate. The 2000 Lafite Rothschild, a blend of 93.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.7% Merlot (only 36% of the crop made the grade) has an opaque ruby/purple color, followed by an extraordinary aromatic expression of liquid minerals/stones interwoven with the tell-tale graphite notes, mulberry, black currants, caramel, and tobacco. In the mouth, it is remarkably light on its feet, but somehow seems to pack intense flavors into layer upon layer of fruit and richness that cascade over the palate. A compelling wine, with extraordinary precision, great intensity, and a seamlessness in spite of what are obviously elevated levels of tannin, this wine was provocatively open and beautiful when tasted in January and February, but I am sure it will soon close down. The finish lasted a whopping 72 seconds! This is utterly fascinating stuff. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2050.

2000 is bottled elegance. The wine has a beautiful sense of refinement, balance, silky tannins and layers of sweet, soft, red fruits that do not want to quit. This is one of the few vintages of Lafite that is better on the palate than it is on the nose. This is an incredible tasting experience that is only getting started. Unless you have a case and you cannot wait to dig in, give it a few more years in the cellar. With time, perhaps a decade or so, this will probably hit triple digits. Drink from 2025-2075.

 It is certainly almost black in color, while the new wood flavors are very present. But it shows an impressive restraint, leaving the power of the wine to be revealed over the years rather than immediately.

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate rim brightening. Black fruits, some plum, fine wood spice, dark chocolate, smoky minerality. On the palate completely embryonic, restrained, fine spice, still appears relatively austere and monolithic, present tannins, the fruit is laid down, nuances of fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, notes of cassis and blackberries, extract-sweet, good persistence, certain future potential, has not quite reached its first drinking maturity yet. Patience will be rewarded.

A glorious vintage that is expressive and beautiful after 2 hours of decanting. Lovely notes of violets, sweet spices and herbs with cedar notes. Lifted and giving now but still very young - has many decades of life ahead. Much better bottle tasted at the chateau than the one tasted in Hong Kong a few weeks ago.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Château Lafite Rothschild is one of the oldest and most prestigious estates in the Pauillac appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the 18th century that the château acquired international renown, particularly among European courts. In the 1855 classification, Château Lafite Rothschild was ranked Premier Grand Cru Classé, permanently establishing its status at the top of the Bordeaux hierarchy.

Owned by the Rothschild family since 1868, the estate rests on a terroir of fine, deep gravel, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines of Château Lafite Rothschild are distinguished by their finesse, aromatic precision and balance, favoring elegance and length over demonstrative power.

Emblematic vintages such as Château Lafite Rothschild 1945, Château Lafite Rothschild 1982, Château Lafite Rothschild 1986, Château Lafite Rothschild 1990, Château Lafite Rothschild 1996, Château Lafite Rothschild 2000 or Château Lafite Rothschild 2005 illustrate the estate's stylistic consistency and its ability to express the identity of Pauillac with clarity. Château Lafite Rothschild remains an essential reference for understanding the classical excellence of great Bordeaux wines.
