Château Bordenave Sauternes 2000 is a remarkable find, particularly for its age and price. This 24-year-old Sauternes from the turn of the millennium is available at an astonishingly low price of $41.99, offering a unique opportunity to experience a mature wine at exceptional value. The year 2000 was notable for Bordeaux wines, and this Sauternes is a prime example of the longevity and complexity that can be achieved in this region.
Made primarily from Sémillon, with smaller proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, this wine showcases the classic characteristics of aged Sauternes. Over two decades of ageing, has developed rich, honeyed flavours with notes of dried apricot, caramel, and a touch of spice. The luscious sweetness is beautifully balanced by the wine's natural acidity, creating a harmonious and elegant profile. The opportunity to enjoy a wine from such a significant vintage, at such an accessible price, is rare and should not be missed by wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
