Chateau Haut Bergey 2005

Chateau Haut Bergey is a structured and elegant red Bordeaux from the Pessac-Leognan appellation. It offers aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and subtle tobacco. The palate is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, layers of dark fruit, earthy minerality, and a long, refined finish.

Food Pairing: Roasted lamb, duck confit, grilled ribeye, hard aged cheeses, mushroom risotto, and charcuterie boards pair beautifully with this wine.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

One of the finest under-the-radar estates in Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Bergey’s 2005 (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot) offers up aromas of scorched earth, wet stones, burning embers, charcoal, and copious black currant and cherry fruit. The sumptuous bouquet is accompanied by a full-bodied wine displaying dazzling purity, sweet tannin, and a long, opulent finish. This beauty will be drinkable at a relatively early age for a 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

Aromas of mineral, blackberry and licorice lead to a full body, with lots of racy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. There's plenty of character, with a polished, refined style, yet tannic. Best after 2011. 9,830 cases made.
