Chateau De Villegeorge 2000
Introduction
Château de Villegeorge 2000 is a classic red wine from France, hailing from the Haut Médoc appellation in the Bordeaux region. The estate's history dates back to the 18th century when its wines were so highly regarded they fetched prices equivalent to Third Growths; in 1932, it was one of only six estates awarded the prestigious 'Cru Exceptionnel' status. Since 1992, the winery has been led by oenologist Marie-Laure Lurton, who continues her father Lucien's philosophy of sustainable viticulture, emphasized by the estate's 'Terra Vitis' and HVE 3 environmental certifications.
Wine Description
The 2000 vintage presents a deep brick-red colour, reflecting its extensive bottle age. The sensory profile is classic and savoury, opening with a refined nose of violets, blackcurrant, and red cherry tinged with secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and well-balanced, featuring a 'vinuosity' characterized by a dry but lively attack and a juicy mouthfeel. The varietal composition is a traditional Bordeaux blend typically consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Petit Verdot. It showcases mature, velvety tannins and a refreshing acidity that leads to a long, sophisticated finish. This wine has reached full maturity and is currently in its optimal drinking window.
