Chateau Haut-Bailly 2020 is a wine that offers freshness but also complexity, with depth, texture and elegant tannins. It is a powerful and rich wine. This vintage also holds a special importance, as it is the first to be aged in Chateau Haut-Bailly's new cellar. It is a magical place, combining nature with architecture, and which writes a new history of Chateau Haut-Bailly.

Blend: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot

2020 Haut-Bailly

The 2020 Haut-Bailly opens in the glass with attractive aromas of cassis, sweet berries, loamy soil, violets and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's a concentrated, rather broad-shouldered wine built around a chassis of firm, powdery tannin that asserts itself on the finish. Haut-Bailly once rivaled Haut-Brion for the title of Pessac's most elegant wine, and I would love to see the team here ease off extraction, but this remains a strong effort that will reward patience.
