2000 Chateau Haut-Brion – First Growth Brilliance from Pessac-Léognan

The 2000 Chateau Haut-Brion is an extraordinary example of First Growth Bordeaux, expressing both power and grace from one of the most storied estates in Pessac-Léognan. This historic property, founded in the 16th century, continues to define the essence of terroir-driven Bordeaux through its seamless balance and unrivaled aging potential.

Tasting Notes

The 2000 vintage unfolds with seductive aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco leaf, followed by delicate notes of smoke, graphite, and truffle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, offering flavors of plum, cigar box, and earthy minerals. The finish is long, refined, and remarkably persistent, showcasing the classic restraint and harmony that define Haut-Brion’s identity.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The blend for 2000 includes 51% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc, aged for approximately 20 months in 80% new French oak barrels. The estate’s gravel and clay soils, combined with meticulous vineyard management, produce a wine of depth and complexity with unmistakable aromatic intensity.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2000 Chateau Haut-Brion is widely regarded as one of the château’s greatest modern achievements. With perfect critical acclaim and proven longevity, it stands as a cornerstone for any First Growth Bordeaux collection. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The 2000 Bordeaux vintage is considered legendary, producing wines of immense concentration, balance, and structure across the Left Bank. Haut-Brion captured the vintage’s strength while maintaining its trademark finesse and aromatic depth.

From a year in Bordeaux that started out with poor weather yet finished under ideal conditions, the 2000 Haut Brion is a gorgeous, incredibly classic wine from this estate that everything you could want. Blackcurrants, plums, scorched earth, tobacco and lots of mineral and earthy characteristic emerge from this gorgeous, still youthful, elegant, yet powerful 2000. The blend is 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc, and while certainly beautiful today, it has another two to three decades of longevity.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 99+). Tasted from an ex-château bottle in Bordeaux, I was not surprised to find the 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year. Tasted November 2014. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: July 2016. Drinking window: 2020 - 2060.

Vinous

The 2000 Haut-Brion has the upper hand over La Mission at the moment, and I don't see that changing. It's always been one of my favourite wines of the vintage. Blackberry and black olive, copious incense and terracotta notes almost hypnotize the senses. The palate is supremely well-balanced with finely sculpted tannins that frame the black fruit laced with white pepper and graphite. It's just entering its drinking window but has the substance to last many years. Tasted at the château. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: September 2022. Drinking window: 2030 - 2075.
