Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

I continue to believe that the top 2017s from Bordeaux are undervalued in the market: case in point, the 2017 Château Haut-Bailly. This is a gorgeous wine that I think is as good, if not better than the 2000. Stylistically, it's closer in style to the 2014 with its purity, balance, and elegance, yet it brings plenty of fruit and depth. Classic red and black fruit, smoked tobacco, scorched earth, and cedar pencil notes define the aromatics, and it's balanced and has a layered, seamless mouthfeel as well as a great finish. I would be thrilled with a case in the cellar, and it's going to drink well for three decades.

About the Producer

Château Haut-Bailly, a Cru Classé de Graves in Pessac-Léognan, has embodied Bordeaux elegance for centuries. Its history began with the Le Bailly family, whose name still resonates today. More recently, Daniel Sanders left his mark on the estate, before Bob Wilmers took over. Now, Véronique Sanders leads this jewel of Pessac-Léognan, perpetuating a legacy of quality and refinement. The wines of Château Haut-Bailly are distinguished by their silky texture, aromatic complexity, and great sensuality. The grand vin rouge, Haut-Bailly, is the most accomplished expression of this exceptional terroir—a racy and profound Pessac-Léognan. The estate also produces Haut-Bailly II, another beautiful expression of the appellation. It is said that the château’s subsoil holds the remains of an ancient Roman villa, testifying to a very long viticultural vocation. A sure bet for lovers of great Bordeaux wines, it embodies the excellence and expertise of a historic property. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château Haut-Bailly, Haut-Bailly II, and Château Le Pape Pessac-Léognan, all useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity. At Château Haut-Bailly, this consistency between terroir, style, and high standards explains the enduring attachment of wine lovers.
