Tasting note: 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. (92-94pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 92-94
Drink: 2010-30

Tasting note: Showing a lovely, dark and intense color, this wine offers a fresh, fruity and ripe nose. It performs mellow and sweet on the palate, developing aromatic, with body and a tender character. This Haut Bergey finishes over a fine length of licorice. (87pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Pretty nose of blackberry and mineral that follows through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Juicy and rich. Very well done. (90-93pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
