"Haut-Bergey 2015 is superb today. Aromas of black cherry, plum, hard candy, and mint are prominent. This decidedly succulent Pessac-Léognan has fleshed out considerably and developed texture and complexity in barrels. Today it is superb." (Vinous)

Nose
Sweet and intense bouquet, scents of blackcurrant liqueur and blackberry jam
Mouth
Powerful and full-bodied, with a sweet impression. Aromas of black fruits, blackberries, black plums, and hints of spice (licorice). Firm tannins and a slight bitterness, which should soften in the bottle with a little time.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
Tannic and sweet at the same time.
About the estate:
Haut-Bergey is one of those unclassified Léognan wines that has been given the means to compete on equal terms with the classified wines. The Garcin family, with the successive help of Michel Rolland, Jean-Luc Thunevin, and Alain Raynaud, has gradually transformed it into a pilot property: today, the white wine slightly surpasses the red in personality, which needs a few years to soften. Recently, Haut-Bergey has also been producing a delicious rosé. In 1996, Sylviane Garcin bought Château Branon, 6.5 hectares planted equally with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which produce a particularly charming Pessac-Léognan. The reds are generally well-structured and balanced. Often heavy in the past, they needed to be left to age for a few years before reaching their peak, but the latest vintages show a shift towards greater elegance.
