Château Haut-Bailly
Description
Data of interest
On the left bank of the Gironde, in Léognan, a commune located south of Bordeaux, in the subregion of Graves, lies one of the historic wineries of this region. We are talking about Château Haut-Bailly, a property purchased in 1630 by the Bailly and Lauvarde families, who built the manor house and developed the cultivation of vines that had existed in the area since at least the mid-16th century. From 1655 onwards, Bailly would give its name to the wines produced at the château.
Today, the estate and the winery, a Cru Classé de Graves according to the 1953 and 1959 classifications, belong to the American banker Robert Wilmers. Of its 30 hectares of vineyards, laid out in a mosaic pattern, four hectares of centenary vines stand out, which were planted at the end of the 19th century by Alcide Bellot des Minières, then owner of Haut-Bailly. This unique plot is the true treasure of the château, along with its exceptional terroir composed of gravel, sandstone, and fossils. Six grape varieties (cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot, malbec, and carmenère) intertwine here, forming the essence of the winery.
From all these carefully cultivated varieties are born the wines of Château Haut-Bailly, considered among the most elegant produced in Bordeaux. Wines of exceptional quality that stand out for their pronounced fruit presence, complexity, strength, and longevity.
