Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A stunning wine in the making, the 2019 Château Haut-Bailly sports a deep purple hue as well lots of smoky black and blue fruits, unsmoked tobacco, cedar pencil, violets, and gravelly earth. Showing the quintessential elegance and purity of this terroir, it's medium to full-bodied, has no hard edges, and delivers wonderful purity of fruit and a great, great finish. It reminds me of a slightly more elegant 2009 and is a beautiful, singular wine from this estate, which is being run brilliantly by Veronique Sanders. It will benefit from just short-term cellaring yet drink well for 40+ years.

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.
