Château Haut-Bergey Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Delectable Wine

Follow to learn about our favorite wines & people.

The 2012 Haut-Bergey is plump, juicy and forward. Sweet red cherries, plums, smoke, tobacco, licorice and herbs are all pushed forward in a supple Pessac Léognan to drink over the next few years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

Jonathan Reimer

Killer value Bordeaux at $25

Carla D

This wine is all over the map. Initial asparagus nose that then transitions to more of a subtle cinnamon/allspice scent. Inviting, and yet feel a good accompaniment would bring out the flavor as it is not all that exciting on its own.

Nicholas Janson

Very nice! Lighter than i expected on the pallet but very earthy and metallic notes with good red fruit of cherry and raspberry. Silky mouthfeel with good gripping tannins.

Chris Parrino

Exemplary of an old French cab with some iron, purple flowers, boysenberry, and a bit of jalapeño.

Jean Jay Gnamien

Really good blend of red fruit. Dark color

Wes Turnipseed

Full bodied, yet easy drinking

Chris Nowakowski

Needed time to open up, at which point I enjoyed it more

Scot McIntosh

Tastes like an underripe sauternes. Big wine, hot alcohol. Honey, almost botrytis notes. Green apple on the nose

Paul Jakubowski

Weak nose, with modest hints of olives. Extremely light and definitely not tasting like a Bordeaux. Might need some age, but took a chance on this one and it didn't work out....
