Château Haut Bailly
In Pessac‑Léognan, just south of Bordeaux, Château Haut‑Bailly sits on gentle slopes of gravel, sand and clay, with fossil‑rich sediments beneath—ground that naturally favours freshness and tension.
Its roots reach back to the sixteenth century, and the name comes from Firmin Le Bailly in the seventeenth. In the nineteenth century Alcide Bellot des Minières helped cement the estate’s reputation; later, Haut‑Bailly was confirmed as a Cru Classé de Graves (1953/1959 classification). Cabernet Sauvignon leads, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc in support; hand harvesting, precise vinification and a long élevage in oak shape the line.
Haut‑Bailly is restraint as a craft: Pessac‑Léognan expressed through structure and poise, where history and geology are translated by meticulous decisions rather than by show.Château Haut Bailly
