Structured, full of promise and with layers of black fruits and tannins, this ripe wine is set for aging. The texture, with its dry core, is dense and powerful. Drink this wine from 2026. Organic.

Very fresh, especially for the vintage, showing slightly high-pitched damson plum and black cherry flavors lined with a sanguine note. Reveals light savory and tobacco echoes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Drink now through 2030. 7,083 cases made, 200 cases imported.

The 2019 Haut-Bergey has a perfumed, pastille-like, almost Burgundian bouquet. The palate is medium- bodied with supple tannins, smooth and yet lacking some complexity and nuance on the slightly muddy finish. Early-drinking. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

A total charmer, the 2019 Château Haut-Bergey offers a deep ruby/plum color as well as spicy, cedary, sappy herb-driven aromatics. With lots of currant and mulberry fruit, medium body, ripe yet firmer tannins, good balance, and a solid finish, it's another quality wine from this château.
