Château Haut-Bergey Pessac-Léognan - Rouge 2007

Wine:

The 2007 red Pessac-Léognan Château Haut-Bergey has stood the test of time ! Its color is still brilliant, barely tiled, and still looks young after fifteen years of evolution. The nose is of great finess, elegance and purity, with noble aromas of fruit. Silky, mature, this almost twenty year old Graves has retained all its charm and fine tannins.

Nose:

Aromas of plums, slightly kirsch and tobacco box.

Palate:

Round and generous, it reveals a precise palate and a great aromatic purity.

Temperature:

Leg of lamb, rack of veal lacquered with honey and sage, chateaubriand, stuffed quail.
