Maturing transparent garnet. Smooth as satin with good freshness and bite – almost Tuscan bite! Longer than most. Really appetising wine for current drinking. VGV (JR)

The 2015 Haut-Bergey has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry, crushed stone and lavender aromas, very precise and detailed. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite extracted with a slightly honeyed texture toward the finish that detracts from what is a far superior bouquet. Starts great but finishes poorly. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Rather floral nose. Lots of weight and charm but you have to like rich, rather old-fashioned wines. Impression of cider and baked apples. (JR)
The 2015 Haut-Bergey has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, hard candy and mint are all pushed forward. This decidedly succulent Pessac Léognan has gained considerable body, texture and complexity in barrel. Today, it is terrific.
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.
