2000 Chateau Leoville Barton – Classical Power from Saint-Julien

The 2000 Chateau Leoville Barton stands as one of the great traditional expressions of Saint-Julien from a legendary Bordeaux vintage. Known for its disciplined structure and unwavering commitment to classic winemaking, Leoville Barton delivers a Cabernet-driven wine built for longevity rather than excess, offering clarity of terroir and enduring balance.

Tasting Notes

Now entering a compelling stage of maturity, the wine reveals aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and dried tobacco. The palate is firmly structured yet refined, with layered dark fruit, savory undertones, and finely integrated tannins. A long, composed finish highlights freshness and mineral tension, underscoring the estate’s restrained, age-worthy style.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot, the vineyards sit on deep gravel soils overlooking the Gironde. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The 2000 growing season provided ideal ripeness and concentration, perfectly suited to Leoville Barton’s classical approach.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2000 vintage is widely regarded as one of the estate’s finest releases, consistently sought after by Bordeaux collectors. Its proven aging trajectory, historical reputation, and steady secondary-market demand make it a cornerstone wine for long-term cellaring.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The exceptional conditions of the 2000 season produced wines of depth and harmony across the Medoc. Leoville Barton is frequently cited for its purity, structure, and faithful representation of Saint-Julien.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating: 95+). I found this to be one of the more backward wines of the 2000 vintage and gave it a window of maturity of 2015-2040 when I reviewed it in 2003. In my two recent tastings of it, I changed that window to 2018-2050, which probably says more than the following tasting note could say. This is a behemoth – dense, highly extracted, very tannic, broodingly backward, with a dense purple color and very little evolution since it was bottled 8 years ago. Wonderfully sweet cedar and fruitcake notes are intermixed with hints of creme de cassis, licorice, and earthy forest floor. It is full-bodied and tannic, with everything in place, but like so many wines that come from Leoville Barton, it makes a mockery of many modern-day consumers wanting a wine for immediate gratification. Those who bought it should continue to exercise patience and be proud to own a wonderful classic with five decades of longevity ahead of it. Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: June 2010. Drinking window: 2018 - 2050.

Vinous

Full medium ruby. Knockout superripe nose combines black cherry, licorice and exotic spices. Compellingly sweet, lush and complete, with harmonious acids giving the wine lovely vinosity and extending the flavors. Finishes with lush, dusty tannins and superb persistence. A great vintage for Leoville-Barton. Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer, Issue date: May 2003. Drinking window: n/a.
