Château Haut-Bergeron Sauternes 2011

The Haut Bergeron is missing a little intensity on the nose, however, with rigorous coaxing it begins to awaken and offer almond and spice aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a satisfying mellifluous texture, and at last the botrytis is evident. It has a lovely seam of orange zest that cuts through the honeyed fruit, leading to a finish that is very composed and exhibits satisfying length. Drink 2014-2028.

Superb light gold. Refined, gently honeyed nose backed by candied fruits. Mouth-coating, suave and velvety. Lovely fullness, substance and a wealth of fragrances. An expressive, racy and distinctive Sauternes.

Jaune d'or à reflets légèrement verts, la robe est superbe. Le nez livre des arômes complexes et bien mariés d'abricot sec, de pêche, de figue et de fruits exotiques, soulignés de nuances légères de tabac et d'épices. Ample, rond, onctueux et concentré, le palais offre beaucoup de relief et s'étire dans une longue finale pleine de fraîcheur et de fruit. Un sauternes admirable d'équilibre et d'élégance.
