HAUT-BAILLY II
Second wine from Château Haut-Bailly

The second wine of Haut-Bailly, called La Parde de Haut-Bailly until 2018. In the same style as its big brother, all restraint and finesse, and increasingly charming thanks to an increased proportion of Merlot since 2010.

A second wine of “flawless consistency and unfailing elegance”, according to Bettane & Desseauve (Guide 2025).

Bettane+Desseauve : 92-93/100 “Very fruity and floral, it charms with its round, smooth palate. The fine tannins, the fresh finish and the overall balance enhance its elegant character.”

J-M Quarin: 92/100 “A deep, intense and beautiful red colour. An intense, fruity, ripe nose. Very Graves-like, enhanced by a hint of liquorice. The distinction of Haut Bailly is evident in this wine, with its meticulous structure, delicate aromas and light texture. Delicious and goes down a treat!”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 “The 2025 Haut-Bailly II is a gorgeous, wonderfully classy wine. The aromatics are especially prominent. Rose petal, dried herbs, mint, blood orange and cinnamon lend an exotic flair. Medium in body, with silky tannins and fine balance, the Haut-Bailly II is a delight."

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 “The 2025 Haut-Bailly II has a relatively straightforward bouquet with brambly red fruit, cranberry and raspberry, a touch of black olive/iodine and sous-bois in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, touches of graphite infusing the red fruit, a little granular in texture, with a slight balsamic edge on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Good potential."
