    Château Haut Bailly

    Château Haut Bailly is a renowned wine producer located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate has a long and rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by the Goyanèche family. In the 19th century, the property was acquired by Alcide Bellot des Minières, who transformed it into a world-class wine estate.

    Today, Château Haut Bailly is owned by the Wilmers family, who have continued the tradition of producing exceptional wines. The estate covers 30 hectares of vineyards, planted with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The vineyards are situated on a gravelly soil, which is ideal for producing high-quality wines.

    The style of production at Château Haut Bailly is traditional, with a focus on producing wines that reflect the terroir of the estate. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 18-20 months, depending on the vintage.

    Château Haut Bailly produces two main wines: the Grand Vin and the second wine, La Parde de Haut Bailly. The Grand Vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with a small percentage of Petit Verdot. It is a full-bodied wine with a deep ruby color and aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cedar. On the palate, it is rich and complex, with firm tannins and a long finish.

    La Parde de Haut Bailly is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. It is a lighter wine than the Grand Vin, with a ruby color and aromas of red fruit and spice. On the palate, it is elegant and well-balanced, with soft tannins and a smooth finish.

    Overall, Château Haut Bailly is a producer of exceptional wines that reflect the terroir of the estate. Their traditional style of production and focus on quality have earned them a reputation as one of the top wine producers in Bordeaux.
