The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Owned by the Garcin-Cathiard family, Château Haut-Bergey has undergone a transformation and since the 2018 vintage has been producing organic and biodynamic wines. The 43 hectares of vineyards allow for a fine selection of juices, vinified with a view to aging.

The estate is now competing with the classified growths of Pessac-Léognan and is perfectly in line with them! This pilot property has indeed adopted ambitious and rigorous means and produces well constructed and balanced red wines, endowed with great elegance.
Wine The 2002 Red Pessac-Léognan Château Haut-Bergey is wonderful. Its color is still shimmering, barely tiled, and still looks young after two decades of evolution. The nose is of great elegance, fine and very pure, with a touch of black truffle, noble perfumes. Silky, mature, this almost twenty year old Graves has retained all its charm and fine tannins. It will be a total pleasure at the table with a leg of lamb or a rack of veal lacquered with honey and sage. Rated 96/100 by our Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vinification by plot in small thermo-regulated vats. Aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
