2020 LE BERGEY BORDEAUX ROUGE

2020 LE BERGEY BORDEAUX ROUGE, FRANCE. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. (Biodynamic)

Le Bergey is the entry level label of Château L'Escart. It's a terrific Bordeaux value, especially considering it comes from the Laurent family's Biodynamically farmed estate vineyards and is vinified traditionally, without the use of chemicals. Currant, cassis and mineral aromas and flavors lead to a medium bodied palate with fine tannins and nice length. At once elegant and drinkable.

The Laurent family has been sharing their passion for wine for decades through the cuvées of Château l’Escart, produced from their one piece of 37ha of vineyards in Saint-Loubès. Gérard and his team know that greatness in wine depends essentially on the greatness of the grapes. This is why they take really good care of the vineyards, in order for the vines to naturally resist parasites with as little treatment as possible. They know how important it is to respect the land that doesn’t belong to them. Thus, each harvest keeps the full expression and richness of the terroir. As they say at Chateau l’Escart: “Produce wines of exceptional quality whilst respecting the land which is on loan to us from our children”. It is precisely for this reason, and their strong relationship to their terroir, that they decided to convert the vineyards to biodynamic farming. This philosophy continues in the cellar, where only indigenous yeasts is used in the fermentation. (Importer)
