Haut Bailly's second wine (the La Parde de Haut-Bailly) was renamed Haut-Bailly II in 2018, reflecting its grand vin. This new label and 2nd wine, of course, differs from that of its older brother in the absence of the mention "Chateau", and restores the dot - touch of modernity - that existed on the labels of Haut-Bailly until 1985. The red touch, matching the capsule, is synonymous with energy and discreet elegance.

The blend is a composition of much marked with freshness and fruit, built on a soft, elegant structure. Haut-Bailly II reflects the virtues of the grand vin and can be drunk young, although it also has good aging potential.

Haut-Bailly II is composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot. The 2019 Haut-Bailly II was harvested from September 23 to October 10. Medium to deep garnet purple in colour, the nose is already wonderfully progressive and harmonious, with bright black cherry, preserved blackberry and wild blueberry scents plus hints of lavender, tilled soil and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid base of firm tannins and a lot of freshness that supports the muscular, mouth-covering black and blue fruit, with a fruity finish.

Antonio Galloni 92-94/100 “The 2019 Haut-Bailly II is a very serious second wine. Big, potent tannis give the 2019 much of its gloomy, brooding personality. Black cherry, graphite, licorice, cloves and new leather infuse the 2019 with tremendous complexity. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2019 for at least a few years. If this tasting is any indication, it is a real powerhouse with quite a bit of cellaring potential”.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2019 Haut-Bailly II presenteert zich met een elegante dualiteit van fris fruit en een stevige, doch zijdezachte structuur, met smaken van zwarte kers en bramenconserven aangevuld door lavendel en een vleugje bewerkte grond. Deze tweede wijn combineert snelheid en kracht door de 60% Merlot en 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, wat zorgt voor rijke ronde tannines en een verfrissende frisheid die goed aansluit bij gegrild vlees en romige kazen. Voor extra impact kies je grilltechnieken zoals een korte sear op hoge temperatuur of slow barbecue met houttoevoeging zodat de fruitige notes en de nuance van chocolade en sigaren doorheen komen; serveer op een koele 16-18°C en laat decanteren zodat de complexe lagen volledig kunnen openen.

Soil research experts have found that Château Haut-Bailly has one of the finest terroirs in the Pessac-Léognan. Great wines are created by the interplay between soil, location, climate and people. The wines have always been good, but have increased even more in quality in recent years. Haut-Bailly is known for its softness and silky texture. The wine has incredible potential for refined tannins and softly sweet, complex fruit nuances.

The vineyard is managed according to strict traditions and chemical herbicides are never used. Spraying is carefully limited, the soil is plowed and weeded with hoes, and the grapes are picked entirely by hand. The vinification takes place in a fermentation chamber with 26 thermo-regulated cement tanks of different sizes (ranging from 30 to 120 hectoliters). These specially adapted barrels ensure that the grapes, grown in different parts of the vineyard, are kept completely separate from the moment they are picked until the vinification.

The winemaking process takes place in cement tanks, while blending is done in stainless steel tanks - a great example of how tradition and modernity go hand in hand at Château Haut-Bailly. Alcoholic fermentation lasts eight to ten days and is followed by maceration. This process takes about three weeks during which the wine never overheats. In this way, a perfectly balanced wine is achieved.
