Haut-Bergey 2005 is a mature-vintage Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Located close to Malartic Lagraviere and Domaine de Chevalier, and owned by Helene Garcin (who also owns Clos l`Eglise and Château Barde-Haut), Château Haut-Bergey is a producer of consistently high-quality and good-value claret which still somewhat flies under the radar. The 2005 is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. "Charcoal, espresso roast, blackcurrants and spice are all present in this medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, relatively evolved and precocious Haut-Bergey, which is just now attaining its plateau of maturity. Soft tannins and an attractive plushness..." Wine Advocate, 2015

Vinous
Good full, deep red. Superripe aromas of redcurrant, plum, cherry, flowers and beefsteak tomato. Sweet, fat and full, but less wild and expressive today than the 2006. Distinct notes of milk chocolate and roasted berries. The major tannins currently cut off the wine's fruit. Impressively rich but lacks a spark: is this too ripe for its own good?
