A delicate white wine from Pessac-Léognan by Château Haut-Bergey

The estate

Situated in the appellation of Pessac-Léognan, Château Haut-Bergey belongs to Sylviane Garcin. This Leognan estate has experienced a fantastic evolution over the past two decades thanks to the significant work carried out both in the vineyard, as well as in the vat room and the winery. Château Haut-Bergey today stands out for its powerful red wines and white wines typical of the Pessac-Léognan appellation

The vineyard

The Château Haut-Bergey vineyard covers 70 hectares, out of which 42 hectares of vines are in production and planted in sandy-gravelly soils upon a clay subsoil. The vineyard is certified for organic and biodynamic viticulture, practicing grassing between the rows of vines, earthing and unearthing by foot. The vineyard and wines of Château Haut-Bergey are Ecocert and Demeter certified. The 2020 Château Haut-Bergey white comes from a 1-hectare vineyard.

Vinification and ageing

The manually harvested grapes were subjected to natural vinification in barrels on full lees. Ageing lasted 21 months in 400-litre barrels.

The blend

The Château Haut-Bergey white 2020 is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
