2000 Chateau Latour – Pauillac’s First Growth Masterpiece

The 2000 Chateau Latour is a monumental First Growth Bordeaux that exemplifies the estate’s legacy of power, precision, and longevity. From the heart of Pauillac, this vintage is a benchmark expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the world’s most prestigious vineyards.

Tasting Notes

Profound aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and tobacco leaf rise from the glass, layered with cedarwood, violets, and smoke. The palate is intense and deeply structured, delivering layers of dark plum, mineral, and charcoal. Dense, tightly wound tannins support a long, regal finish that continues to evolve with age.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Located at the southern edge of Pauillac, Château Latour's vineyards sit atop gravelly soils with exceptional drainage. The 2000 vintage is composed of approximately **77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, and 7% Petit Verdot**, matured in **100% new French oak**. The estate’s Grand Vin is selected only from the oldest vines within the famed Enclos, reinforcing its unparalleled quality.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2000 Château Latour is widely considered one of the most profound wines of the modern era, earning near-universal critical acclaim and commanding global demand. Its longevity, pedigree, and rarity make it a cornerstone for serious collectors and investors. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **2000 vintage** is legendary across Bordeaux, with Latour emerging as one of the vintage’s crown jewels. A wine built to age effortlessly for decades.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2000 Latour (a relatively abundant 14,000 cases compared to what they produced in 2009, 2008, or 2005) is “packed and stacked.” The extremely rich, black/purple color to the rim is followed by a wine with some subtle smoke, loads of minerals, a hint of vanilla, and plenty of creme de cassis as well as roasted meat and a slight scorched earth character. Broad, savory, and rich, the wine seems to be about 5 years away from full maturity and should drink well for at least 40-50 more years. A great effort, probably eclipsed only by 2003 and 2009. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: June 2010. Drinking window: 2010 - 2060.
