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 captures the qualitative evolution of the estate with its perfume of citrus and mirabelle plum.”
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.”
