Château Haut-Bergey 2007
Pessac-Léognan AOC
Loading...
Critic Robert Parker described this as "Consistently one of the top, under-the-radar wines of Pessac-Léognan". It has to be good to have 14 years age and still be tasting silky, complex and long. A mellow claret with earthy, leafy red fruit length.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
