Owes name to man of the cloth born in 1264, Bertrand de Goth, Bishop of Comminges, in the Pyrenees, later became Archbishop of Bordeaux in 1299. Blend, 57% Merlot, 38% Cab Sauv & 5% Petit Verdot & Cab Franc, aged in new French oak for 18 months. Pronounced youthful black fruit aromas with earthy baking spices. Blackberry & plum palate flavors with cedar & spice integrated with firm tannins, long ending, earthy oak with a mineral tang. Needs more bottle age! Tasting Sample! — 5 years ago
Always a favorite from the Pyrenees mountains. Met this guy once. Cool pictures of the vineyards above the clouds. Satiny smooth with a fresh clean finish. — 10 months ago

Some say it’s the exceptional soils of clay and gravel washed down from the Pyrenees that give Bergey its charm. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spice, cedar and smoke. On the palate flavors of plum, blackberry and black raspberry with cacao, oaky tones and mineral spice. Lingering finish ending with fruit and toasty cedar character. Good value. — 5 years ago
Actually a 2012 Hidden Label McLaren Vale Shiraz. A wine I bought as a company wine to give as gifts to good clients. Because of changing attitudes to company gifts in Australia the practice is discouraged particularly to Government Departments so my brother and I split the last dozen. This is a good McLaren Vale Shiraz from a good vintage showing dark chocolate and blackberry drinking at its peak. The early stern Tannins have softened and has developed into a lovely wine. — a year ago
Very strong in flavour and balance needs to air out. Excellent with food on a hot day. Very different from most sparkling wines — 4 years ago
