Premières Côtes de Bordeaux Château Labatut-Bouchard 2000 375 cl
The 2000 Château Labatut-Bouchard is a Grand Vin de Bordeaux produced by Valérie and Frédéric Méhaye. Holding the Appellation Premières Côtes de Bordeaux Contrôlée, this wine features a distinctive coat of arms on its label bearing the inscription "LILIA SOLA REGVN LVNAM VNDAS CASTRA LEO NEM". Following traditional methods, the wine was aged in oak barrels and bottled directly at the estate.
Bordeaux, situated by the Atlantic Ocean, is globally recognized for its historic wine production dating back to the Middle Ages. The Premières Côtes de Bordeaux appellation forms a narrow, 60-kilometer belt along the right bank of the Garonne River, stretching from Bassens in the north down to Saint-Maixant. The vineyards are primarily planted on slopes that look directly across the river toward the renowned Graves and Sauternes areas.
The region benefits from a temperate maritime climate, where the proximity to the Garonne River provides a stabilizing effect on temperatures. The varied terroir consists predominantly of clay, limestone, gravel, and marl, with the elevated, well-drained slopes offering highly favorable growing conditions. The 2000 vintage is noted as a full-bodied year for the area, earning a score of 96 points.
Officially established in 1937, the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux appellation originally encompassed both red and white wines. During a restructuring of Bordeaux's classification system in 2009, the area's red wines were transferred to the broader Côtes de Bordeaux designation. Consequently, older vintages like this one from 2000 represent a specific historical period when the original appellation name was still applied to the region's red wines.
The history of the wine

Bordeaux
Bordeaux on the Atlantic is the world's most famous wine region and has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The legendary 1855 classification still ranks the area's leading châteaux. On the left bank of the Gironde, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates on gravel soils, while the right bank is the domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The region is known for elegant, age-worthy blends of great finesse.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
