Note di degustazione
Pale lemon colored, the 2016 Haut-Bergeron has quite a savory nose of baker’s yeast, warm bread, fresh straw and fried spices over a core of lemon meringue pie, baked peaches and beeswax. The palate has wonderful restraint with bags of tightly wound nuances and fantastic freshness, finishing long and honeyed.

A bold and succulent Sauternes with plenty of bitter-orange marmalade and caramel character that keeps on going through the long, generous but only slightly sweet finish. Where is the foie gras? Drink or hold.
The 2016 Haut-Bergeron has an attractive and pure bouquet with wild honey, barley sugar and orange pith aromas, almost Barsac in style. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very harmonious with a dash of spice towards the finish. I enjoyed this Sauternes out of barrel and I am pleased to see it delivering where it matters – in the bottle. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.
RS 144 g/l, TA 3.82 g/l. Hint of ginger and well integrated and lush. Streak of green. Needs quite a time. And overall a refreshing style of Sauternes. (JR)
