Château HAUT-BERGEY Cuvée Paul red 2019 bottle 75cl

bottle 75cl: 25,00 € incl. VATbottle 75cl

A family estate reawakened in 2011 by the arrival of son Paul Garcin, a former rock musician on the Bordeaux scene. An instant switch to organic and biodynamic viticulture, to produce intuitive, artist's wines that are immediately sapid and have a strong pleasure note. As a deliberate iconoclast, Paul Garcin makes a point of offering different facets to each Haut-Bergey vintage: a classic cuvée vinified and matured in the tradition of Bordeaux's great growths, the more contemporary Cuvée Paul, and single-vineyard cuvées highlighting their respective terroirs.

An approach hailed by the Revue du Vin de France: "A modern vision and the ability to reinvent oneself without betraying: Haut-Bergey symbolises the current vitality of Bordeaux's most historic vineyard".

Cuvée Paul is a "modern" Pessac-Léognan, produced using contemporary practices to stay as close to the fruit as possible: partial vinification using whole bunches, and virtually wood-free ageing (concrete egg, amphora and demi-muid).

The 2019 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2023): 92/100the Cuvée Paul radiates the vibrant, weighty, subtly ferrous and spicy fruit that makes it so distinctive”.

    The 2019 vintage in the press:

    La Revue du Vin de France (September 2022): 92/100 “An original, accomplished style, far from varietal. The flavor of this wine, in which Sauvignon is in the majority, is subtly praline-like while remaining fresh and vibrant. The softness of the flesh is very welcoming. The wine has evolved well over the past year, showing no signs of fatigue”.

    La Revue du Vin de France (April 2024): 93/100 “For a Cabernet Franc, the comparison with a Loire red seems obvious. But Haut-Bergey anchors us perfectly in Bordeaux. Smoky, graphite, ripe fruit, a bouquet at once free, precise and poetic. The tannins are present, but not clinging, and the finish is finely vegetal."
