Château Haut-Bergeron, Sauternes
This 25 hectares big wine estate in Sauternes can boast some very old vines. The grape harvest and the wine making (vinification) is done with great care. They age the wines for quite a long time in oak barrels. The resulting sweet Sauternes wine is at the same quality level as more famous wine producing estates and well known names in the region.
