Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2000

3 units available online.
Product description

Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the largest and oldest classified growths in the Medoc region of France. The fruit is harvested by hand. The fermentation vessels include a fascinating mix of wooden, cement and stainless steel vats. When finished the wine is pumped to the barrel cellar. Here it is transferred into oak barrique, between 50% and 100% new for the grand vin, depending on the vintage.

100 Points - Wine Spectator

Absolutely fantastic. This is one of the most exciting reds I have tasted in a long, long time. It shows intense aromas of berries, currants and minerals, with hints of mint. Full-bodied and packed with fruit and tannins, its long finish is refined and silky. A benchmark for the vintage. Las Cases has always wanted to make first-growth quality in a top-notch vintage and it certainly did in 2000. 

99 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

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. 

98 Points - Robert Parker

This full-bodied blend of nearly 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc still has a youthful ruby purple colour, notes of graphite, kirsch liqueur, black currants and lead pencil shavings, with good acidity, tell-tale purity, layered ripeness and intensity and a profound finish.
