Château HAUT-BERGERON
Sauternes
- 2022
- Sauternes
Straddling Barsac and Sauternes, Haut-Bergeron enjoys a quality terroir superbly exploited by the Lamothe family for 9 generations (!). It is the artisanal cru and the sure value of Sauternes, of which each vintage wins its share of awards in competitions and guides.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 94/100 "Very rich yet elegant, harmonious and pure, this great classic is still a little “tight”, with a tactile sensation of viscosity that overshadows its aromatic expression. The future belongs to it."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “The 2021 Haut-Bergeron has an attractive bouquet with acacia honey, yellow plum and light peachy notes, gradually gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is weel-balanced with fine weight, the acidity lending tension. The finish has a delightful marmelade and quince tinge that lingers in the mouth. Delightful.”
B. Burtschy (septembre 2022) : 94-95/100

The 2020 vintage in the press:
Hachette (Guide 2024): Coup de ♥ “Its aromatic richness extends into a full, generous, rich palate, in the greatest tradition of classic Sauternes.”
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2023): 96/100 “The 2020 renders the qualitative evolution of the estate with its perfume of citrus and mirabelle plum. Its lovely, lively attack is quickly integrated, as is the fine ageing that amplifies its elegance.”
Vinous (N.Martin-December 2022): 92/100 “The Haut-Bergeron 2020, which incidentally bears a special label to celebrate its bicentenary, has a very pure, fragrant nose of dry honey, white peach, saffron and Japanese yuzu. The delineation is impressive. The palate is balanced, with great concentration, quite spicy with notes of ginger and lemongrass. Very fine.”

The 2015 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 92/100 "2015 is also a rich, sunny vintage, with a more pronounced almond flavour (pithiviers...) and a longer finish thanks to its bitterness."
