Tasting notes
The 2022 Haut Bergey offers up aromas of cassis, mulberries, flowers and iris mingled with delicate notes of cassis. Medium to full-bodied, round and juicy, it's well-balanced and framed by velvety tannins, culminating in a long, fresh and ethereal finish. This is a straightforward Pessac-Léognan, elegantly crafted.

I loved the 2022 Château Haut-Bergey both times I was able to taste it. It's a very pure, medium-bodied, elegant Pessac-Léognan based on 45% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Petit Verdot. Black cherries, plums, spicy wood, and flowery incense notes all shine here, and it has fine tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's a hidden gem in this brilliant vintage that will evolve gracefully over the coming 15-20 years.
The 2022 Haut-Bergey has a light, earthy bouquet with brambly black fruit mixed with cedar and loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, greenness on the mid-palate and some attenuation toward the finish.
Successful, pretty, understated, takes its time to open, studded with black pepper and cloves, and attractive sage notes. There is fruit here too, although it dips a little through the mid palate. An attractive wine, tasted twice. Organic and biodynamic, gravel, sand, clay soils, 40ha estate.
About the producer
Since Paul Garcin took over running this estate in 2014, it has become one of Pessac-Léognan’s most exciting addresses. Biodynamic and with a minimalist approach, Ch. Haut-Bergey makes pure and expressive wines that offer both great value and a taste of the modern Bordeaux.
