Chateau Haut-Bergey Blanc 2010 (1x75cl)

A white Bordeaux from 2010, so around 15 years in bottle. White Bordeaux with this much age usually trades its bright citrus edge for something rounder and more nutty, and the texture typically feels broader than a young white. Older bottles vary, so keep an open mind rather than fixed expectations.

An interesting one to bring to a seafood dinner when everyone else brings red, or to pour for a friend who thinks white wine cannot age. Chill it in the fridge but not too cold, around 10-12°C, so the texture shows. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, standard delivery 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Aged white Bordeaux typically shows preserved lemon, honey, toasted nuts and a waxy texture, with the acidity holding things in line. Bottles with this much age vary from one to the next.
