Managed by Véronique Sanders since 1998, Château Haut-Bailly is an acclaimed wine estate situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The estate comprises 30 hectares of vineyard located on a high, sandy ridge with lots of sandstone and fossils. This is the 2006 vintage of its flagship wine, a blend composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. On the nose, expect aromas of black currants, cherries, dark chocolate, hints of cigar and scorched earth. The palate combines blueberries, cassis and graphite.

Cool blue and black fruits, well balanced, soft campfire smoke, blackberry and pomegranate, supple and welcoming even though this was a cooler-than-average year, with soft hints of mint leaf, grilled sandalwood and liquorice. A wine with finesse and clarity of expression. 50% new oak. Harvest September 13 to October 15. 41hl/h yield, Denis Dubourdieu consultant. 50% new oak.Jane Anson11th September 2024

The 2006 Haut-Bailly is a very capable Pessac-Léognan from an oft-overlooked vintage. This repeats its showing from a few months earlier with lovely blue and black fruits and violet aromas. Perhaps a mote of chimney soot here? The palate is medium-bodied with that slightly ferrous note and tobacco. This bottle is a touch creamier in texture than previous examples. This is drinking perfectly now, but there's a lot left in the tank. Tasted at the château.Neal Martin26th January 2023
