Is Haut-Bailly a magical name which stimulates the imagination merely by evoking it' Nothing could be more certain if you consider the intrinsic quality of its gravel ridges and shelly sand of fossilised stone which make up a 30 hectare property in a single block, as well as the red wines (the only colour made from this vintage) which undeniably rival the Premier Cru Medoc appellation wines - Haut-Bailly embodies sensuality, elegance and restrained power. The quality of the wines - Château Haut-Bailly and La Parde de Haut-Bailly (second label) -- reflects not only the extremely high standards applied to managing the plots of land (with vines over a hundred years old) but also the natural quality of the land worked by men, and now a woman, who knows the site well - Véronique Sanders, managing Director of the Cru Classé, who, for the owner Robert G. Wilmers, is responsible for the destiny of this haute couture chateau. Over 4 centuries of history, each owner has thus been a craftsman of good taste, enabling this Cru Classé from Graves to maintain an image of excellence with amazing constancy.
