Château Bernadotte 2000

Château Bernadotte 2000 is a great introduction to the left bank Bordeaux style and the great 2000 Bordeaux vintage.

Château Bernadotte, which borders Lafite, Mouton, and Pontet-Canet, was bought by Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. Since 1998 May-Eliane de Lencquesaing and her team have invested heavily in the château, cellar and vineyard, and it is no wonder that the results have been excellent since.

"…the 2000 is an elegant, nicely textured, smoky, sweet wine offering scents of caramels intermixed with black currants, cherries, cedar, and licorice. Supple-textured and lush, it should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. A sleeper of the vintage." eRobertParker.com

"Seriously good Cabernet, with raspberry and grape skin. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a smoky, tobacco finish. Well done." Wine Spectator
