Wine Advocate
Reviewed March 2014The Haut-Bergey 2010 has a very concentrated bouquet with dense blackberry, briary, crushed stone and tobacco on the nose that unfolds in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins on the entry. There is a lot of extraction here, but it is in tune with the acidity and the structured finish has plenty of vibrant red fruit and energy to see it through to the long term. (NM)

This is a wine that shows lots of chocolate, tobacco and currants. Full body, with velvety tannins and a long finish. All there.

Wine Enthusiast
Ripe and fruity, this has ripe tannin and rich red-berry flavors. It has a solid, firm background of dark tannins that promise good aging. (RV)

Wine Spectator
Offers lush fruit, with dark raspberry and boysenberry notes, good, graphite-laced structure and bright acidity weaving throughout. The long, smoldering finish features an appealing licorice snap and violet profile. (JM)

Red fruited nose with earth, minerals, and menthol. On the palate, quite dry with some chalky notes and fleshy red fruits, dark red cherry, red currant, and a touch of boysenberry. Quite mouth filling. Update: Over two years later, tobacco and spice at the forefront with red and black fruits. Dry, with lingering tannin.

Made under Hélène Garcin's watch — composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot that aged 16 months in 50% new barriques. Deep, dark cassis on the nose with hints of cola and toasty, vanilla oak. Flavors of cassis, bay leaves, cola, vanilla, and minerals, followed by a lengthy finish. Pair with a juicy steak or grilled veggies.
Notes
92 points, Robert Parker - Wine Advocate: "From Helene Garcin, this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot displays classic tobacco leaf and smoky barbecue notes along with rich black currants and crushed rocks in a medium to full-bodied, seductive, attractively up-front style. It is a sleeper of the vintage." (02/2013)
