Château HAUT-BERGEY 2015
Château Haut-Bergey is located in Pessac-Léognan , in Bordeaux . It dates from the 15th century, but the castle which was built in 1850 as a leisure residence had an abandoned vineyard. It has belonged to the Garcin family since 1991. Managed by Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard, the property has been the subject of a vast rehabilitation plan both in terms of the vines and the cellars, while adopting the bases of an agriculture concerned with the environment. Since 2014, Paul Garcin has decided to lead the estate in organic farming and then in certified biodynamic farming since 2015 . The vineyard extends over 28.5 hectares, mainly planted with red grape varieties while 2 hectares are dedicated to the production of white wine. The portfolio of Vignobles Garcin also includes Clos L'Eglise in Pomerol, other Châteaux in Pessac-Léognan and Bodega Poesia in Mendoza.
Haut-Bergey Rouge is a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot . The harvest is harvested by hand using small crates to avoid damaging the fruit. The grapes are vinified in small temperature- controlled stainless steel vats of 80 to 120 hectoliters. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 16 to 18 months , 1/3 of which are new .
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
