A highly involved collector who acquired the wine in his cellar over many years. Sourced from negotiants, LCBO vintages releases and agencies, all wines were stored in a home cellar equipped with a state-of-the-art cooling and humidification system. A photo of his cellar is included in the gallery.
The tasting note for 2001 Chateau Haut Bergeron Sauternes is from Robert Parker and the score is 89 - The Haut-Bergeron 2001 has a generous bouquet with apricot and mandarin scents – a little volatility in the background, but that just seems to give it "lift". The palate is well balanced with spicy orange zest and peach notes, crisp acidity and a satisfying, cohesive finish. It should continue to drink well over the next decade.
