Figeac has become a more consistent wine over the last few years A profound effort, the surprisingly full-bodied 2000 Figeac has an opaque purple color accompanied by a terrific bouquet of camphor, graphite, black currants, licorice, and smoked herbs With well-balanced, powerful tannin, concentration, and pinpoint precision, finesse, and purity, this expressive as well as textured effort will drink well between 2004-2018 When Figeac hits on all cylinders, one can understand why some tasters believe it is as complex as Cheval Blanc This is undeniably the estates finest effort since 1996 Wine French Still Wine

It will always be tempting to compare the 2000 Haut-Brion with the perfect 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion However, it is not as fat, unctuous, flamboyant, or voluminous as La Mission Yet, like a great diplomat, it is a wine of intensity, authority, and measured restraint A supremely elegant offering, its dense ruby/purple color, and burgeoning perfume of scorched earth, liquid minerals, plums, black currants, cherries, lead pencil, and subtle spicy oak are followed by a delicate yet powerfully flavorful, multi-layered, highly nuanced, and extraordinarily pure and seamless wine There have been so many recent classics from Haut-Brion, it is premature to suggest the 2000 is better than the 1998, 1995, 1990, or 1989, but it is certainly a prodigious wine of dazzling persistence, length, and complexity A blend of 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Cabernet Franc, it should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, even by the standards of Haut-Brion Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040It will always be tempting to compare the 2000 Haut-Brion with the perfect 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion However, it is not as fat, unctuous, flamboyant, or voluminous as La Mission Yet, like a great diplomat, it is a wine of intensity, authority, and measured restraint A supremely elegant offering, its dense ruby/purple color, and burgeoning perfume of scorched earth, liquid minerals, plums, black currants, cherries, lead pencil, and subtle spicy oak are followed by a delicate yet powerfully flavorful, multi-layered, highly nuanced, and extraordinarily pure and seamless wine There have been so many recent classics from Haut-Brion, it is premature to suggest the 2000 is better than the 1998, 1995, 1990, or 1989, but it is certainly a prodigious wine of dazzling persistence, length, and complexity A blend of 51% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Cabernet Franc, it should prove to be uncommonly long-lived, even by the standards of Haut-Brion Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040Full red-ruby Roasted plum, currant, tobacco and minerals on the nose Compellingly dense and thick but almost miraculously lively and light on its feet Has a texture like liquid velvet, coating the entire palate Wonderfully unmanipulated wine, with perfectly integrated acids giving it superb subtle vinosity and thrust Finishes with outstanding building persistence, with the substantial tannins perfectly supported by the wines fat middle Typically Haut Brion has a complex bouquet of ripe fruit, tobacco and mineral, earthy scents Rich, ripe, medium to full-bodied and well structured A wine that seems to balance power and elegance, richness and harmony perfectly Wine French Still Wine

The 2000 vintageWeather during the growing seasonAfter a rotten spring which caused a great deal of worry due to mildew, flowering went well in early JuneOther than a few cool nights and a week of July 14th that was less than ideal for holiday makers,summer was hot, sunny, and dry In fact, drought conditions prevailed until late summer2000 is a vintage that produced both quality and quantity The grapes were very ripe by the time noble rot set in The dry weather in September slowed down the onset of botrytisThe WineFermented and aged in barrel for three yearsProduction : only 4,000 bottlesAlcohol: 135%Sugar : 124 g/lAcidity: 480 g/lHarvestsOn September 26th, we went all over the estate to pick the (mostly Sauvignon Blanc) grapes which had been precociously affected by botrytis A few light showers brought on a spate of noble rot and the second wave of picking started on October 9th By the 10th, there were ten more barrels of beautiful wine in the cellar Hopes were high that the good weather would continue in order to pick the equivalent of thirty barrels within 3 to 4 days However, this was not to be It began to rain hard on the evening of October 10th and this lasted for one week The remaining grapes of the 2nd wave were thus condemned The rain continued unabated except for a period lasting from October 22-29, which meant a small amount of wine was made from a 3rd wave of picking When the rain let up on November 15th, the pickers went out without baskets to cut off all the bad grapes, which were left on the ground Production was extremely small : just 15 barrels of wine from 15 hectares of vines!Tasting notesBeautiful, brilliant, straw-yellow colour Intense, fresh floral bouquet with hints of acacia followed by fruit and a touch of lemon The subtle vanilla aromas take on a more spicy character after aeration Starts out vibrantly on the palate and then develops a delicious equilibrium Well-structured and very fruity Round and rich, but maintains an attractive acidity The rich aftertaste goes hand in hand with delightful freshness The initial impressions are largely fruity with lemony overtones These quickly evolve into fruit paste and tangy fruit jam flavours Fresh and vivacious from beginning to endThe proportion of botrytised Sauvignon Blanc was 2-3 times higher than average in the final blend, which gives this vintage a truly unique character The wine explodes on the palate with perfect balance thanks to its fresh lemony qualities The purity of aromas and flavours is altogether incomparableIt is suggested to enjoy this wineat the beginning of the meal Wine BORDEAUX WHITE
