Chateau Loudenne 2000
Introduction
Château Loudenne 2000 is a classic red wine from France, produced in the Médoc region of Bordeaux. Historically known as 'the pink castle' due to its distinctive rose-coloured walls, the estate has a legacy dating back to the 17th century and was notably owned by the British Gilbey brothers for over a century starting in 1875. In 2000, the property transitioned from the ownership of the drinks giant Diageo to the Lafragette family, maintaining its reputation as one of the oldest and most picturesque 'Cru Bourgeois' estates in the Médoc.
Wine Description
The 2000 vintage displays a beautiful, deep garnet-red colour. The sensory profile is elegant and classic, with a nose featuring blackcurrant, chocolate, and black cherry accented by spicy notes and hints of vanilla and cedar. On the palate, the wine is powerful and well-balanced, showcasing round black cherry fruit and a medium body with firm, well-integrated tannins that have softened over two decades of ageing. This Bordeaux blend typically consists of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, though some bottlings include small portions of Cabernet Franc. Stylistically, it is characterized by its fresh acidity and long finish, with subtle tertiary notes of coffee and earth developing from 12 to 16 months of French oak ageing. This wine is currently in its prime drinking window.
