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".
Cuvée Paul is a "modern" Pessac-Léognan, produced using contemporary practices to stay as close to the fruit as possible: partial vinification using whole bunches, and virtually wood-free ageing (concrete egg, amphora and demi-muid).
The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 92/100 “the Cuvée Paul radiates the vibrant, weighty, subtly ferrous and spicy fruit that makes it so distinctive”.

The vintage 2019 is rated 91/100 par le Guide Bettane et Desseauve 2024
Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France "For a Cabernet Franc, the comparison with a Loire red seems obvious. But the Haut-Bergey puts us firmly in Bordeaux. Smoky, graphite, ripe fruit, a bouquet that is at once free, precise and poetic. The tannins are present, but not clinging, and the wine has a long, finely vegetal finish". (April 2024)
