Reviews
James Suckling 92-93
This is a juicy and savory red with ripe blue-fruit and violet aromas. It's medium-bodied with supple tannins. Good concentration of fruit. Fine finish.

The 2023 Haut-Bergey is bold and dynamic from the very first taste. Strong floral and savory accents lend a distinctive flair to this super-expressive Pessac-Leognan. The strong presence of Cabernet Franc comes through loud and clear. There's terrific purity to the fruit and fine balance to wrap it all together. Rose petal, sage, mint and crushed red berry fruit linger. It's one of the most intriguing wines of the year. Aging is in amphora, foudre, cement egg and tank. Haut-Bergey is one of the major sleepers of 2023.

Matured without using barrels, the 2023 Haut Bergey instead utilized stainless steel tanks, egg-shaped concrete containers, TAVA amphorae and foudres of 30 hectoliters. It reveals a perfumed, delicate bouquet of cassis, blueberries, mulberries, flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, it’s perfectly balanced with a juicy texture that finishes long and mouthwatering. The increased proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, necessitated by mildew on the Merlot, imparts a delicate and tense mid-palate characterized by powdery tannins. This blend, consisting of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, is a singularly well-executed wine at this address.
