Tasting notes
Smoky brioche notes intermixed with honeyed grapefruit, lemon zest and hints of white currant, fennel and orange rind are all present in this dense, concentrated, impeccably well-made dry white. It should drink nicely for 10 or more years.

Bright and crisp lemony colour, fine expression of Sauvignon Blanc, lots of energy, flavour and length and potential complexity. Drink 2012-15
Tasted at Clos l’Eglise. This has a really lovely, minerally nose with crushed stone, fresh green apple, white peach and a touch of pear. Leesy on the entry, touches of tropical fruit, guava, pineapple and lime leaf, but then dainty and delicate towards the finish. Very pretty. Tasted April 2010
Bright gold. Interesting sulphidey twist on the usual Pessac- Léognan recipe. Very fresh and zesty. Good balance and probably quite a long life. One definitely for the table. Attractive dryness on the 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.
