Chateau Bergat AC St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2006
Winery information: The Château Bergat was named after a rock that has carried this name since time immemorial. The vineyard spreads over the slopes of this sheltered valley, ending at La Gaffelière and Ausone. This privileged exposure (exposure at midday) means that the grapes receive the sun’s rays from sunrise to sunset, sheltered from the North and West winds by the battlements and ruins of St. Emilion.
Viticulture: Vineyard area 4 ha. Average age of vines 40 years.
Vinification: Fermentation for 15 – 20 days. Aged for 18 – 24 months in oak, of which 50% are new.
Tasting Note: A rich, textured and complete wine with excellent fruit, velvety tannins and good length.
