Château Haut-Bergeron, AOC Sauternes
While 2013 was a washout for dry Bordeaux, Sauternes was dealt a winning hand. This is fresh, racy, and assured. Aromas of orange blossom and nectarine lead to a taut palate with classic notes of apricot, honey, crème pâtissière and mango. Linear and refined. 2023-2029–MP
Château Haut-Bergeron, AOC Sauternes
2014’s damp opening gambit did not auger well and yet a long extended summer allowed for successive pickings of tropical styled, botrytis-affected fruit. This is one of those welcome surprises from an on/off vintage. Drink now, and enjoy its maturity–MP
Château Haut-Bergeron, AOC Sauternes
One for those who like their Sauternes with oomph. A vibrant nose of pineapple, marmalade and toast presages a palate of tremendous power sporting notes of marmalade, orange blossom, coconut, coffee, vanilla and whipping cream. This would be lost without acidity, but it delivers, bouncing to a lingering finish of honey and tropical fruits. 2024-2030–MP
Château Haut-Bergeron, AOC Sauternes
Fully mature Sauternes with rich aromas of honey and almond. The palate is loaded with heather honey, marmalade, and dried apricot. Every so often a hint of roasted nuts peeks through the ensemble, as if to say ‘drink me now’. A delicious glass of dessert wine. 2023-2026–MP
