Description

Chateau Haut Bergey has a long history in the Bordeaux wine region dating all the way back to the 15th century. It started out life under the name of La Maison Noble de Pontey. Sir Jean-François de Cresse, a member the Bordeaux parliament, bought the estate in 1700. Within 24 months, he grew the vineyards to 100 hectares. Over the years, parcels of the vineyards have been reduced, leaving the estate with its current 28 hectare size. Believe it or not, a century later, the vineyards of Haut Bergey were allowed to drift into a state of non production. In 1850, a new chateau was built.
