Lafite 2000 wine is a very unique wine that has been rated as a full score by Parker's score! As a year at the turn of a century, the price of Chateau Lafite in 2000 is one of the few years second only to the 1982 Lafite.
Since 1994, manager Charles Chevalier Chevalier has moved from his favorite Chateau de Saudenes (also part of the Rothschild Group) to Chateau de Lafite, this outstanding winery has produced a series of in-depth wines.
Another unique feature of the 2000 Lafite red wine is the high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine making. In 2000, the grape production of Lafite Chateau in Bordeaux, France was a little lower than in previous years. In 2000, Lafite only used two grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, to make wine. What surprised people was that the Cabernet Sauvignon The proportion of grape varieties was as high as 93.3%, and the proportion of Merlot was only 6.7%. This is indeed very rare in the history of Lafite wines.
This year, grape growth was relatively early, the average temperature was high, and the rainfall was normal. Rainfall in late May and early June made the vines susceptible to mold, but were protected from suffering under the protection of the winery's technicians. The weather in late summer is excellent, and several weeks of hot and dry weather in August and September allow the grapes to fully ripen, which is why the 2000 Chateau Lafite is such a wonderful 2000 Chateau.
