2000

Red Burgundy - 2000

Harvest status: From September 6th.

Abundance: big harvest.

Quality: fairly good but uneven. Thinning and green harvesting. Sometimes insufficient ripening.

Quality: some fine, healthy grapes, well ripened.

Overall quality of the vintage: good. Wines with only average levels of alcohol, but good acidity. Some great successes.

Rhone Valley - 2000

Overall quality of the vintage: fairly good. Appealing and successful wines. The success of the 1999 vintages fairly overshadowed this year. White wines of fairly uniform quality in the north: fat and rich.  In the south, supple but often fairly hit and miss. For the reds, the north is a mixed bag, with the best and the worst rubbing shoulders. Low acidity in the south. Vacqueyras play the outsider. Despite having body and presence, these bottles will likely not make it to 2100.

White Alsace - 2000

" Thunderstorms every week from May till July! " The vintage wine 2000 to Kientzheim, Paul Blanck will remember it himself! His customers also, but for the other reasons: aromatic white pinot, very fresh Riesling Patergarten present no track of shower. Just, sometimes, a sudden shower of happiness...
Happiness also to Mittelbergheim at Albert Seltz, whose sylvaner Old vineyards is so successful as, on the label, he wrote Io sono contento. As Léonard de Vinci having painted the Mona Lisa! By enjoying its sylvaner selection of noble grains(beads), anche noi, siano contenti (we too, we are satisfied).
Happiness finally at Frédéric Mochel, to Traenheim. Little father have the intelligence (or the impatience!) of that, who left officially the reins of the house in the hands of his 23-year-old son, on June 1st, 2001. Actually, it did not take many risks: from 1997, a Riesling Slept off Guillaume in the well-balanced notes of flint and honey marked the first weapons of the new generation. Since, the Gewurtzraminer 1998, the sylvaner on 1999 and the white pinot klevner 2000 showed a beautiful control of the various vines. The third millennium looks good.

Loire wines - 2000

A fairly difficult year in view of the rain, better suited to reds and dry whites than to sweet wines. At the Domaine de la Louvetrie, Joseph Landron produces some particularly brilliant wines. One worthy of mention is his Cuvée Haute Tradition, a Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie, fat and expressive, a million miles from the acidic  "house white" that has so often sullied the reputation of the appellation.
