Product details
Chateau Leoville Barton Bordeaux Red Blends 2000 reflects the enduring heritage of one of Saint-Julien’s most respected Left Bank estates, rooted in gravelly slopes overlooking the Gironde River. The vineyard benefits from deep clay-gravel soils that promote balance and consistency across vintages, even in challenging seasons. Fruit is gathered entirely by hand and sorted with precision, honoring traditional practices that emphasize purity and expression of place. Careful plot-by-plot handling and extended maturation in French oak—much of it newly crafted—allow this celebrated Bordeaux blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to develop structure, depth, and refined elegance worthy of its storied name.
The 2000 vintage reveals an expressive and layered profile shaped by a sun-kissed growing season. Aromas unfold with floral lift, balsamic nuances, and finely etched spice, each note clear and vibrant. On the palate, the texture is full and plush, offering a sense of generosity balanced by poise and definition. Complex yet harmonious, the structure feels polished and complete, leading to a long, supple finish that lingers gracefully and highlights the noble character of Saint-Julien terroir.
