Château Haut-Bergey 1982
The wine
The red wines have a rich texture. They reveal black fruit aromas associated with wood notes. Marked by their terroir, they offer beautiful harmony and remarkable finesse. The vines are cultivated reasonably. The grapes are harvested manually and sorted. The red wines are then aged for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels.
Château Haut-Bergey is located in Léognan and it dates from the 15th century. Sylviane Garcin, sister of Daniel Cathiard of Château Smith Haut Lafitte, took over the estate in the mid-1990s. Since then, it has benefited from significant investment. Paul Garcin took over the management of the estate in 2014. The 27-hectare vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot for the reds, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for the whites, and is farmed biodynamically. The vines, averaging around 30 years, thrive on gravel soils with clay and limestone subsoil.
One thing is certain: thanks to Paul’s dedication, the wines have gained in precision, finesse and elegance. Nothing is left to chance, whether in the vineyard or the winery. The vathouse is equipped with temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and a climate-controlled barrel cellar. With compelling wines on both sides of the colour spectrum, Château Haut-Bergey is an estate that deserves a place on your shortlist.
