A classic Bordeaux from the Fronsac appellation, the 2000 vintage is known for being especially strong thanks to near-perfect growing conditions. It’s a Merlot-dominant blend, giving it a smooth, round texture with flavors like dark plum, black cherry, tobacco, and earthy spice. With age, it developed more complex notes like leather and truffle. it’s fully mature and at its peak
The 2000 Bordeaux vintage is so highly regarded that many estates, including Château Dalem, produced wines built for long aging. Still drinking beautifully 25+ years later, which is rare for more affordable Bordeaux like Dalem
