This producer also makes a white wine. Ensure your merchant has the color you are looking for.
Expert tasting note: "Color is a medium to deep ruby-red. Dark -fruit aromas are concentrated with liquorice notes overlaid by a slight dustiness. On the palate the underlying dark fruit is concentrated but displays green notes. Acidity is fresh & alcohol is balanced. There are touches of new oak, but these are quite subtle. The finish lasts well & is pleasantly balanced." - 11/10 DCAMW

About the Product
- Region or Appellation
- Producer Notes
- A wine that is aged with consideration for its fruit. The large sized barrels gently protect the delicate tannins and crunchy fruit that reflect the perfect ripeness of the grape. The delicacy of the red fruits, the depth of the black fruit and the « verticalité », shape and reflect the perfect balance of Château Haut-Bergey red wines.

- Vineyard Notes
-
The soil composition of the vineyards terroir offers many diverse properties, be it gravel, sand or clay, enabling the establishment of an entire range of emblematic Bordeaux grape varieties. The estate vineyard is made up of six different blocks of vines planted in the midst of the Commune of Léognan, on the gravel residue left by the old river, that used to flow through the village, called l’Eau Blanche. There are 44 hectares of vines, with an average age of 20 years, which constitutes the vineyard of Château Haut-Bergey and certain parcels of vines are even 60 years old.

When to drink: 2009 to 2026
2006 Vintage
Tasted: May 2016
With a smoky, espresso, thyme and cherry tobacco nose, the wine is medium/full bodied, soft and round in texture, with a sweet, dark cherry and espresso finish.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2011
88—90 Barrel sample. Firm and dry, here is a wine that still offers plenty of ripe fruits. There are good blackcurrant flavors, along with the dry tannins that are as much wood as fruit driven.
2006 Vintage
Tasted: Oct 2008
Nose of ripe red fruit. Powerful, concentrated on the palate, with firmer evolution and finish. A solid style which should become rounder.

Needs to aerate or decant for at least 30 minutes. Good wine; probably should consume soon.
