Winemaker Notes
Chateau Haut Bergey is one of the crown jewels in the collection of exquisite Grand Crus. The exceptional soil consists of clay and gravel washed up from the Pyrenees caused by the meanderings of the Garrone over time which give Chateau Haut Bergey its distinctive character.
Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator
This bounces along pleasantly, with a briary hint along the edges and vivid damson plum, anise and blackberry notes at the core. A floral accent kicks in on the finish for added lift.

Wine Enthusiast
Showing spicy wood with firm, black-currant tannins and gentle fruit, this wine is rounded, soft and accessible.
