Description

Vintage & Background
The 2000 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as one of the great modern classics, offering ripeness, structure and balance across regions of both Left and Right Bank. While Puisseguin‑Saint‑Émilion sits just outside the famed appellation of Saint‑Émilion proper, wines like Grand Roc demonstrate how right‑bank blends of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon can capture the character of the vintage with approachable intensity and good ageing potential.

Appearance & Nose
In the glass the 2000 Grand Roc typically presents a mature garnet hue with subtle brick tones at the rim, signalling age and evolution. The nose leans toward tertiary earthy nuances, with dried plum and dark cherry overlaying hints of cedar, underbrush and savoury spice. Aromatics may show traces of tobacco leaf and leather that have developed with time in bottle.

Palate & Texture
On the palate the wine tends toward medium‑bodied maturity, with flavours of evolved red and dark fruit, savoury earth, and gentle oak nuance. Tannins have softened with age but still impart structure, balanced by a frame of integrated acidity. The finish is moderate and harmonious, carrying the wine’s refined character through to a pleasant, savoury close.

Maturity & Drinking Window
After more than two decades in bottle, the 2000 Grand Roc is fully mature and entering a classic stage of evolution, offering tertiary nuance without the austere tannic grip of youth. This is a wine best enjoyed now, though well‑stored bottles should remain rewarding for a few more years
