Château Dauzac - 2000 - Château Dauzac
Ref: A042700
5eme Cru Classé Margaux (Labarde)

In our view it is only since the mid 1990s that Dauzac has performed as it should do and this is clearly down to the dedication of André Lurton. The nose has a vanilla/oast overtone whilst the palate is full of cassis flavours with an overt opulence. Drink 2006 to 2016.

Dauzac sits on 120 hectares of which 45 are planted to vines. In the year 1740 Dauzac was given as a dowry to Thomas Michel Lynch, a Irish catholic exile. In 1863 the estate was purchased by an Englishman, Nathaniel Johnston, who had set up as a négociant on the Quai des Chartrons in the city of Bordeaux. It was at Dauzac that a treatment for mildew in the form of copper sulphate was first invented. Mildew had recently arrived from America as a significant threat to vines and the new product was therefore a very significant development in saving much of Europe's vineyards from disaster.

Dauzac has been owned by the MAIF insurance company since 1989 and is leased to André Lurton.
