Château Haut Bailly 2014

Château Haut-Bailly is a renowned Graves estate in Pessac-Léognan, whose old vines stand on poor gravel soils with an iron-rich subsoil.

The Cabernet-dominated vineyard area is finely parcelled and sustainably farmed; in the cellar, the estate relies on precise, gentle vinification and measured ageing in French oak. The style: noble, cool elegance with cassis and red fruits, cedarwood, fine graphite spice and firm, silky tannins that give excellent ageing potential.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
