2014 Chateau Haut-Bailly Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 12x75cl

Chateau Haut-Bailly

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2024-2038

The vibrant second wine of this lauded estate has established itself as a contemporary staple following a rebrand in 2018, which saw the 50-year-old La Parde de Haut-Bailly shapeshift into the Haut-Bailly II. Made from grapes cultivated on the same soil as the illustrious Grand Vin, the Haut Bailly II exhibits the same characteristics of pleasure and refinement as its older sibling. Situated on high ground just east of Léognan, Château Haut Bailly’s terroir benefits from gravel, sandstone and sand over limestone soils. The 39 hectares of vineyard are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (c.60%), Merlot (c.34%), Cabernet Franc (c.3%) and Petit Verdot (c.3%). This stunning wine has the enviable ability of being able to be drunk sooner than the estate’s Grand Vin, whilst also retaining excellent ageing capabilities should you wish to add it to your cellar.

The 2014 Haut-Bailly is very composed on the nose. It's pretty tertiary, but there is sufficient fruit to back that up, and it feels much more natural than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well-balanced, and unapologetically classic in style, but unlike many of its peers, there is no austerity or dryness. This is a polished 2014 that should mature well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Haut Bailly has a charming, quite intense bouquet with layers of blackberry, raspberry coulis, black olive and melted tar scents that soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, harmonious and focused with superb density and precision towards the finish. This is a classy number and alongside Domaine de Chevalier, it is one of the standouts from the appellation in this vintage.

66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot. Garnet hue, lighter at the rim. Lively and fresh but still a little closed. Sound, medium-bodied weight and the tannins are finely honed. Oak sticks out a little but I will give it the benefit of the doubt and a little more time. (JL)
