About this wine

Château Haut-Bailly is a Grand Cru Classé de Graves in the Léognan district of Pessac-Léognan. In 1998 it was bought by American banker Robert G. Wilmers, who launched a complete renovation programme in 2000.

Its 28 hectares of vines lie on the gravelly heights around the village. The wine is a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon (about 65%), with Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc (10%), aged for 15 months in 50% new oak barrels and bottled without filtration. Volume, finesse and silky richness characterise the 2011, with warm aromas of black and red fruits, coffee notes and an integrated tannic structure.

Decant and serve at 16–18 °C.
