Tasting Notes
Vintage 2000 has a ripe and generous nose. One finds warm notes of brioche and pastries that blend with those of bergamot and stone fruit. On the palate, this wine is vibrant, the attack asserts itself directly, a prelude to a richness that is more tactile than fleshy, and which only reveals itself gradually. The length has a noble bitterness that blends with roasted flavors.
Vintage Notes
Spring began well with excellent growth showing by the end of April beginning of May and flowering in early June. Rainfall in July was four times higher than average and a hailstorm hit, destroying many vines but August was sunny and dry. The wet weather though meant vines were slow to and acidity was low by end of August but good weather throughout September helped ripen the fruit more fully. The vintage started in mid-September and the sun shone for the duration of the picking which lasted two weeks, and the harvest remained of remarkable quality from beginning to end. After two harvests in 1998 and 1999 with impressive and spectacular volumes, the 2000 harvest is in the same vein
