The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 91/100 “The 2021 Haut-Bergeron has an attractive bouquet with acacia honey, yellow plum and light peachy notes, gradually gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is weel-balanced with fine weight, the acidity lending tension. The finish has a delightful marmelade and quince tinge that lingers in the mouth. Delightful.”
B. Burtschy (septembre 2022) : 94-95/100

The 2020 vintage in the press:
Hachette (Guide 2024): Coup de ♥ “Its aromatic richness extends into a full, generous, rich palate, in the greatest tradition of classic Sauternes.”
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2023): 96/100 “The 2020 renders the qualitative evolution of the estate with its perfume of citrus and mirabelle plum. Its lovely, lively attack is quickly integrated, as is the fine ageing that amplifies its elegance.”
Vinous (N.Martin-December 2022): 92/100 “The Haut-Bergeron 2020, which incidentally bears a special label to celebrate its bicentenary, has a very pure, fragrant nose of dry honey, white peach, saffron and Japanese yuzu. The delineation is impressive. The palate is balanced, with great concentration, quite spicy with notes of ginger and lemongrass. Very fine.”

The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “Haut-Bergeron 2019 hints at an intense spectrum of honeyed, candied orange aromas.”
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 97/100 “At the level of a classified growth, Haut-Bergeron offers a magnificent price/pleasure ratio. The latest vintages, more graceful, affirm a change of course towards less opulence. The elegant 2019 evokes candied orange. The fruit is delicate, with the pleasant sensation of tangy candy on the palate. Its liqueur is well balanced. Fine and nuanced, it evolves with air on an intense grapefruit note.”
Vinous (N. Martin - April 2022): 93/100 “The 2019 Haut-Bergeron was cropped at 1hl/ha and contains 158g/l residual sugar. It has a lovely, tensile bouquet with citrus fruit, apricot and lemon sorbet, maybe just a little more closed since I last tasted it. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, fine depth and a vibrant sorbet finish that has great salinity and drive. Excellent. I can see this aging magnificiently over the next two or three decades.”
