Croix de Labrie Saint-Émilion 2000 12-Pack OWC is a twelve-bottle original wooden case from the Saint-Émilion appellation on Bordeaux's right bank. Croix de Labrie is the second wine of Château La Labrie, a small Saint-Émilion estate bottled under the same family's label.
From the Producer
Château La Labrie is a small Saint-Émilion estate on the right bank of Bordeaux, where Merlot dominates the plantings alongside Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate's flagship, Château La Labrie, sits in the Saint-Émilion AOC and the family's second wine, Croix de Labrie, draws from younger vines and lots not selected for the grand vin, following the traditional Bordeaux practice of bottling a separate second label from the same property. The 2000 vintage was a classically structured, balanced year in Bordeaux that produced age-worthy Merlot-based wines across the right bank, and Saint-Émilion bottlings from this vintage have aged steadily into a mature, savoury register.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Mature plum, dried cherry, leather, forest floor and gentle spice from bottle ageing.
- Palate: Medium-bodied and savoury, with soft Merlot fruit, integrated tannin and a developed, earthy length.
- Finish: Long and gently savoury, with the bottle-aged character of a 2000 Saint-Émilion.
