Located in the Sauternes commune of Bordeaux, Chateau Haut-Bergeron has been in the enduring hands of the same family (Lamothe) since the end of the 18th century. In the 1950's the estate was expanded into nearby vineyards as well as into Barsac. Haut-Bergeron is an esteemed and regionally well-regarded property, with over 61 acres of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle planted to vine.This golden colored dessert wine is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon blanc, and 2% Muscadelle. As with most Sauternes this wine has an intriguing aroma profile filled with nuances of peach, apricot, and french vanilla. On the palate the wine shows delicate flavors of dried apricot, orange marmalade, and honey. The wine is relatively light on the palate and shows a nice zip of acid on the finish. For Sauternes, this wine shows just a medium-length finish and perhaps lacks a bit of power and edge. Great Sauternes usually will be a bit heavier in terms of texture and complexity, but this wine is a very sleek and crisp style. It's truly the kind of dessert wine that doesn't overwhelm me during the hot summer months here in Phoenix, and hence I like it! 90 points

We are 4 students of the School of Economics and Management (UCP Lisbon) conducting our MSc. Dissertation.
An important part of our work will be based on a Survey involving 400 UK consumers. In it, we ask questions about wine, in particular about Port Wine.
This is the survey address (it takes 10 min only):

I am not in tap into what makes a good wine great, however the way you described it makes it sound like it would be great with a light meal. You are really well at describing wine and I like the layout of your site, very good post.
