Cellar/Tasting Notes
Pessac-Leognan is a prestigious appellation for wines of the Bordeaux region of south-western France. Haut Bergey Rouge is a great value-price ratio wine from this region. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 94 "One of the best over-achieving, value-priced wines in Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Bergey's vineyard enjoys a superb location near Malartic-Lagraviere and Domaine de Chevalier. Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Cabernet Franc and a dollop of Petit Verdot, the opaque purple-hued 2009 reveals a big, exuberant nose of charcoal, black currants, sweet cherries, and graphite. Dense and full-bodied, with beautiful purity, texture, and length, it should drink well for 20+ years." |
