Château Léoville Barton 2000 (12 BT)

Château Léoville Barton 2000 

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

Levels just into neck or better, excellent apperance; Niveaux juste dans le goulot ou mieux, excellente apparence

In 2017, there is absolute, pure class on the nose, right from the outset. On the palate, lots of black fruit, volume, verve and a real voluptuous character. This has decades in front of it. A stupendous Léoville Barton, not to be missed at any cost - which, by the way, is below what it deserves, a boon for wine-loving drinkers. The quality of the vintage really sings. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
