2000 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases – Saint-Julien’s Grand Vin of Precision and Power

Winery Information

The 2000 Chateau Léoville-Las Cases, also known as the “Grand Vin de Léoville,” is a towering example of Left Bank structure and elegance. From one of the oldest and most revered estates in Saint-Julien, this Second Growth Bordeaux rivals the First Growths in pedigree, complexity, and longevity.

Tasting Notes

Profound aromas of cassis, black cherry, and graphite are layered with notes of cedar, smoke, and tobacco leaf. The palate is powerful yet refined, with tightly knit tannins, a core of dark fruit, and a long, mineral-laced finish. Still evolving beautifully with over two decades in bottle.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The estate's vineyards lie adjacent to Château Latour, benefitting from deep gravel soils and optimal drainage. The 2000 vintage is a blend of approximately **76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc**, matured in **100% new French oak barrels** for 18–20 months. The meticulous vineyard management and low yields contribute to remarkable purity and structure.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2000 Léoville-Las Cases is widely considered one of the greatest wines of this legendary vintage. Its incredible aging capacity and near-First Growth quality make it a highly collectible asset in any fine wine cellar. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **2000 vintage** across Bordeaux produced wines of concentration, precision, and longevity—particularly exceptional for Cabernet-based blends from the Left Bank.

The 2000 Leoville Las Cases is another brilliant wine and, like most 2000s, appears to just now be at the early stages of its drink window. Smoky black fruits, crushed rocks, lead pencil, and menthol notes all emerge from this brilliant, blockbuster beauty that still tastes like it's just 5-6 years old. Beautifully concentrated, ripe, sexy, and seamless, it has the classic elegance and regal quality of this domaine front and center. It has another 3-4 decades of longevity.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2000 Léoville Las Cases takes time to unwind in the decanter and glass, but when it begins to show all its cards, the display is spectacular. Mingling aromas of dark berries and red fruits with aromas of pencil shavings, loamy soil, cedar box, bitter chocolate, dried rose petals and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered, complete mid-palate that's rare in this vintage, powdery tannins and a long, resonant finish. An uncompromising classic, even as it closes in on its 22nd birthday, the 2000 Las Cases remains an infant in terms of evolution. Reviewed by William Kelley, Issue date: August 2022.

Vinous

The 2000 Leoville Las Cases is a vintage that I have encountered a dozen or so times. Jean­ Hubert Delon oversaw a magnificent wine in this year. The nose of graphite-infused black fruit is still vivacious and very complex, very Pauillac-like, and supremely well focused. Hints of licorice develop with aeration. The medium-bodied palate features sappy black fruit and perfectly judged acidity. Complex and delineated, with marine-tinged mulberry and black currant notes given a deft Oriental touch on the finish. Bottles are only just beginning to drink perfectly now and will last another 30 or more years. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: June 2021. Drinking window: 2021 - 2050.
