Tasting note: 2010: This estate is well-worth following given the fact that is always a realistic value and in most top vintages an over-achiever as well. Owned by the Garcin family, the 2010 Haut-Bergey (from a vineyard near Haut-Bailly) is composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot (unusual for this area). Possessing a deep ruby/purple hue as well as notes of creosote, charcoal, tobacco leaf, black currants and cherries, this sleeper of the vintage is opulent and luscious with a multilayered texture. Surprisingly forward with excellent freshness and depth, no hard edges, and a heady finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years. (92-94pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: May 2011
Score: 92-94
Drink: 2013-23

Tasting note: This is a wine that shows lots of chocolate, tobacco and currants. Full body, with velvety tannins and a long finish. All there. (92-93pts. James Suckling)

Tasted: Apr. 2011
Score: 92-93
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: Seriously ripe, with dense, succulent plum and black currant fruit paste notes, laced with extra spice, anise and tar. This has great drive and cut, and is still a bit compact. Seems set for the longer haul. A seriously good showing for this estate. (92-95pts. JM, Wine Spectator)
