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.

Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
Showing plenty of black fruit, savory herbs, and complimentary oak, the 2014 Château Haut-Bergey a good look at how a top-class Pessac-Léognan should be. This wine is quite concentrated, yet it is well-balanced and refined. (Tasted: October 11, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
A solid, grippy-edged style, with a core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit laced with tar and roasted apple wood notes. Picks up needed energy on the finish. A bit brooding in feel, but there's ample depth of fruit and grip to wait this out.

Wine Enthusiast
Ripe berry fruits push through the firm structure to create a juicy, potentially rich wine. It has an immediately attractive freshness, but tannins and dark wood flavors promise aging.
Barrel Sample: 89-91 -
James Suckling
A solid core of fruit to this wine with blueberry, dark chocolate and mineral character. Full body with firm tannins and a fresh finish.
Barrel Sample: 89-90

In the fifteenth century, the lord of La Louviere and Lord Olivier proceeded to land consolidation. Thus was born "The Noble House of Pontey, today Chateau Haut-Bergey.
In 1700, Sir John Francis Cresse, advisor to the parliament of Bordeaux makes his home. In 1772, the estate had 100 hectares of vines. A century later, the vineyard was abandoned and rebuilt the castle in 1850 is a property approval. It was not until the second half of this century, 1957 specifically so that gradually the area regains its past wine. In March 1991, Sylviane Garcin Cathiard acquired Chateau Haut-Bergey.
The 28.5 hectares of land are located in the heart of the village of Léognan, mecca of Graves.
