94-95pts James Suckling
A medium- to full-bodied red with beautiful dark and blue fruit and an array of fine grained, silky tannins. Refined and lingering. Very attractive and textural. From biodynamically grown grapes.

From vineyards farmed biodynamically since 2018, the 2022 Haut Bergey reveals a lively and fresh bouquet of peony, violet, cassis and dark berries, as well as subtle hints of licorice and graphite. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, succulent and supple, with a charming cure of fruit underpinned by bright acids, concluding with a youthfully structured finish.
