In the 15th century the Seigneur de la Louviere & the Seigneur d’ Olivier got to work on the reparcelling of agricultural land & so was born La maison noble de Pontey today named Chateau Haut-Bergey. In 1700 Sir Jean-Francois de Cresse, a member of parliament of Bordeaux, took it over & used it as his permanent residence. By 1772 the estate stretched over 100 hectares of vineyard. A hundred years later, though the vineyard was abandoned & in 1850 a splendid castle was reconstructed becoming a leisure residence. It was in the middle of the last century the castle returned to the wine growing roots of the past. Citrus, floral, apple & honeysuckle scents pair well with the fleshy, full bodied, plush wine. This blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc & 20% Semillon ends with a fresh, lightly honeyed, spicy. citrus oil dominated finish.
