Château HAUT-BERGEY
Red
- 2024 Futures
- Pessac-Léognan red
A family estate reawakened in 2011 by the arrival of son Paul Garcin, a former rock musician on the Bordeaux scene. An instant switch to organic and biodynamic viticulture, to produce intuitive, artist's wines that are immediately sapid and have a strong pleasure note. As a deliberate iconoclast, Paul Garcin makes a point of offering different facets to each Haut-Bergey vintage: a classic cuvée vinified and matured in the tradition of Bordeaux's great growths, the more contemporary Cuvée Paul, and single-vineyard cuvées highlighting their respective terroirs.
An approach hailed by the Revue du Vin de France: "A modern vision and the ability to reinvent oneself without betraying: Haut-Bergey symbolises the current vitality of Bordeaux's most historic vineyard".
La Revue du Vin de France : 90-92/100 « L’expression aromatique tranche par sa liberté, ses notes de cassis frais et de raisin mûr qu’on a l’impression de toucher du doigt. Matière leste, sans gras mais très franche et savoureuse. On sent un réel aboutissement du fruit dans ce propos qui reste du côté de la délicatesse, de la légèreté. »
Bettane & Dessauve : 90/100 « Arômes de fruits rouges mûrs et de vanille douce, la bouche est généreuse, avec des tannins francs. »
