The 2019 Haut-Bailly, matured in 50% new oak and bottled in April 2021, has a stunning, classy and sophisticated bouquet of blackberry, melted tar, Earl Grey and light minerally scents. This is extremely focused, almost pixelated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, but there is real backbone and structure to this wine. Deep, intense, classy and classic in style, delivering an immense amount of sapidity on the enormously persistent finish. As I mentioned previously, this is a less flamboyant Haut-Bailly, but more intellectual. - Neil Martin
Château Haut-Bailly is a highly regarded wine estate situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The property comprises 30 hectares of vineyard located on a high, sandy ridge with lots of sandstone and fossils. This release is the 2019 vintage of its flagship wine, presented here in a half bottle format. The blend is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aged in 50% new French oak. It is a powerful, full-bodied wine, brimming with notes of violets, bay leaves, cassis, crushed rocks and some pepper. Best enjoyed from 2029 onwards.
