"I was not surprised to find the 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion" - 99+ Points, Neal Martin - The Wine Advocate

The 2000 vintage of Château Haut-Brion is a particularly notable example of the estate’s mastery. The millennium vintage in Bordeaux was exceptional, and Haut-Brion’s 2000 offering is no exception.

Critic Scores

99+ // The Wine Advocate

"Tasted from an ex-château bottle in Bordeaux, I was not surprised to find the 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirting with perfection. The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year. Tasted November 2014. - Neal Martin"

99 // Jeff Leve

"Still young, yet it is impossible not to be awed by the wine. Intense, concentrated, complex, and filled with smoked, red fruits, charred wood, tar, spice, forest leaves, spice, and a farmers market of red berries, this is long, rich, mouth-coating and attention-seeking. At 24 years of age, this is only starting to display its greatness. Drink from 2024-2075."

97 // Falstaff

"Medium ruby, delicate ochre rim. Delicately savoury, nougat, very inviting, hints of tobacco. Taut tannins, firm, austere core, subtle hints of dark chocolate, fine acid structure, still very young overall, somewhat underdeveloped, shows good tannin bite: Please wait. Store for +50 years"

96 // Wine Enthusiast

"For an Haut-Brion, this is huge. Every characteristic suggests power, from the dark color, through the knock-out perfumes, full of dark, brooding fruits. The flavors are black, intense and ripe. It is a delicious wine, surprisingly ready to drink. And yes, just at the end, there is a small hint of the delicacy and elegance that is true Haut-Brion."
