Details
Property of a long-time Christie's client
A fine selection of Bordeaux from the magnificent millennium vintage
Château Calon-Ségur--Vintage 2000
Saint-Estèphe, 3me cru classé
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 313-314
"A dense, traditionally crafted wine for those with patience, the 2000 Calon-Segur rivals the estate's finest wines of the last two decades, the 1995, 1988, and 1982. But be forewarned, this wine has already closed down, something totally in character with all top vintages from this estate. This blend of 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot, and 10 Cabernet Franc exhibits a plum/purple color along with gorgeous aromas of creosote intermixed with spring flowers, black cherries, cassis, licorice, and stony, liquid minerals. A powerful, tannic, full-bodied and opulent wine, it possesses considerable structure that is reasonably well-concealed by considerable glycerin and intensity. Look for it to be at its best between 2012-2040. Patience, patience, patience!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
