DESCRIPTION
Le Bergey is the entry level label of Château L’Escart, a Bordeaux Supérieur winery run by the Laurent family which live on the property. The estate is organically farmed and managed for quality throughout every step necessary to make a fine bottle of wine. You’ve got to try this if you are a Bordeaux fan. Consistently outstanding, this is yet another strong showing from one of our most price-worthy properties. Using only vines that are a minimum 15 years of age adds a measure of concentration usually found only in wines costing considerably more.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot
Dark intense fruit; cooked cherry, licorice, currant, and hints of baking chocolate. Intense and concentrated on palate. Ripe cherry, licorice, blackberry followed dry tannins and a tightly wound fruit on the finish.
