2021 Haut Bailly

A patchwork of vines spreads across ridges of sandy, gravel-studded soils that sit atop a layer of sandstone. The soils are petrified with the remains of prehistoric fossil shells that descend deep into the earth, offering exceptional drainage and rare minerals. At the heart of it all, a stone’s throw from the chateau building, lies Haut-Bailly’s most precious jewel: an eclectic cohort of ancient vines that each year bestow soulfulness and timeless continuity upon the wine. Confidence and respect for the quality of Haut-Bailly's fruit demands gentleness and minimal intervention in the winery to nurture wines of purity, charm and precision. Each subplot is harvested ‘à la carte’ to ensure that early-ripening Merlot and late-ripening Cabernet are picked in their most perfect state. Technology is placed at the service of mother nature to add precision and reduce compromise. The estate has now new facilities at the height of its exceptional terroir. "It is said that only great wines are always sure. Château Haut-Bailly is one of these privileged wines which, vintage after vintage, never fails to deliver on its promise of elegance." 2021 vintage, hard work and humility The Merlots are soft and fruity. The Cabernets are dense, have good colour, are full-bodied and structured. The yields are very limited. The wines have a good balance, a structure for ageing, and elegant tannins. A winemaker’s vintage for which our new facilities have made an undeniable contribution to the pursuit for quality. 2021 tested our technical and human limits to surpass the adversity of Nature, but we were determined to rise to the challenge!
