Tasting Notes
True to its identity, this is one of the most iron-rich aromatically. Dark stone and berry fruits, a sprig of heather and some wild herbal elements. Supple, juicy tannins and quite a succulent mid-palate but one marked its acidity. It’s never quite tart or astringent but it’s quite close to traversing that fine line. A little dry on the finish.

Chalky tannins that give focus and lift to the fruits, this is understated, a little overly slim, but they have done a careful job of constructing through the palate, adding a touch of grilled oak.
Tobacco, herbs, and red fruits create the perfume. Light. fresh, fruity, and airy, with lift, and energy, the red currants, and cherries come though easily on the palate, and in the finish, in this lighter, vibrant wine. The wine blends 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged entirely in amphora, and foudres, there is no new, French oak involved.
A fresh and easy character with a light to medium body. Fine tannins and a crunchy finish.
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.
