Just a stone’s throw away from the city of Bordeaux, Château Haut-Bailly, one of the most prestigious Cru Classé de Graves, sits majestically in a 30 hectare (74 acres) vineyard at the heart of the Graves region on the left bank of the river Garonne.

When tasted, the Château Haut-Bailly reveals a very important power but balanced by an exceptional finesse. It has all the qualities of Pessac-Léognan wines and is the reference.

James Suckling
Great aromas of crushed blackberries with flowers and stones that follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, long finish. It fills your mouth with beautiful fruit and velvety tannins yet shows tension and form. This lasts for minutes on the palate. Structured and superb. Don't touch until 2020.

COMMENTARY: I have followed this wine for nearly two decades. Dutifully tasting vintage after vintage, and savoring the moments. The 2010 Château Haut-Bailey is a stunning wine, competing well with wines twice its price. TASTING NOTES: This wine is dynamic, compelling, and energetic. Its aromas and flavors of black fruits, violets, and oak accents should pair it superbly with a well-marbled ribeye. (Tasted: November 5, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Enthusiast
A very concentrated wine, although its tannins are well integrated into the fresh berry fruits and bright acidity. That gives the wine a style that brings out a more open character. Very promising future.

Wine Spectator
Chewy and brambly, but integrated, this carries a very hefty core of espresso, ganache, mulled plum and blackberry fruit. The purity starts to shine through on the finish, which drips with cassis and is threaded with a long warm paving stone note. Tight and backward today, this extremely well-built wine will need substantial cellaring. Best from 2018 through 2035.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Haut Bailly has consistently been a fantastic wine, and at seven years of age I have no reason to alter that view. It has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, wet stone, black olive and a light marine influence. It is still backward compared to other vintages, but it has not relinquished one iota of its intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is a voluminous Haut Bailly, one that is beginning to stretch its muscles, with a gentle grip in the mouth with a wonderful saline finish. There is huge potential locked into this wine, but patience is needed. Tasted March 2017.
