2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages – A Pauillac Fifth Growth with First Growth Ambition

The 2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages is one of the estate’s most celebrated vintages—a powerhouse Fifth Growth that consistently performs well above its classification. Hailing from the esteemed appellation of Pauillac, this wine offers the concentration, structure, and age-worthiness that collectors seek from Bordeaux’s Left Bank.

Tasting Notes

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and graphite intermingle with notes of licorice, dark chocolate, and subtle smoke. On the palate, the 2000 vintage delivers bold flavors of blackberries and plum, supported by firm tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish with Pauillac’s signature power and finesse.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2000 Lynch-Bages is composed of **approximately 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot**, matured for **15–18 months in 70% new French oak barrels**. The estate’s gravelly soils and low-yielding old vines contribute to exceptional concentration and complexity.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages is widely regarded as one of the estate’s greatest wines, combining remarkable structure with aging potential that rivals many First Growths. A proven performer on the secondary market, this vintage remains highly desirable among Bordeaux collectors. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **2000 vintage** is one of Bordeaux’s legendary years, delivering wines of exceptional depth, structure, and longevity—particularly well-suited for Pauillac’s Cabernet-driven blends.

This was a gorgeous showing by the 2000 Château Lynch-Bages, and this appears to be smack in the middle of its prime drinking window based on this bottle (which was more youthful than a bottle from my cellar). Still ruby/plum-hued, it has a pure, intense nose of darker currants, leafy tobacco, freshly sharpened pencils, and incense, which is classic Pauillac goodness. This carries to a full-bodied Lynch-Bages that has flawless overall balance, a seamless, surprisingly elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This was closed and hard to read a few years after release and over the following decade or more, but the last few bottles I've had have all showed remarkably open and accessible. I'd be shocked if it didn't continue drinking brilliantly over the coming 20+ years. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: March 2025. Drinking window: 2025 - 2046.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr. Issue date: August 2011. Drinking window: 2011 - 2036.

Vinous

The 2000 Lynch-Bages is well defined on the nose with blackberry, cedar, humidor and crushed rose petals, one of the most elegant of this era. There is real pedigree here, obviously from a benevolent growing season. The palate is harmonious and framed by fine-boned tannins, the acidity well judged. It is not a powerful Lynch-Bages but has an appealing sense of symmetry and poise. Drinking beautifully now. Tasted blind at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the château. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: June 2021. Drinking window: 2021 - 2032.
