Château HAUT-BAILLY
Grand cru classé

Haut-Bailly is the most delicate of the Graves wines with a particularly silky tannic structure.

Terre de Vins : 98-99/100 Coup de ♥ " “Holistic” is the word chosen by the Haut-Bailly team to describe this vintage. That speaks volumes about their confidence in the result. We wholeheartedly agree, as this 2025 proves immediately seductive with its palette of blackcurrant and graphite, its floral notes adding a touch of freshness and brilliance to the emerging aromatic density. This density is reflected on the palate, creamy and silky, framed by tannins of the purest definition. The whole unfolds on a finely mentholated base, just tinged with a hint of saltiness and sap in the finish, lingering at length to our great delight.”

J-M Quarin: 98/100 “A deep, intense red colour. A very aromatic, refined and pure nose, with a hint of wet leather. It gains complexity when swirled in the glass. Hints of liquorice and cherry. Extremely delicate on the palate, with an incredible grace of texture; the wine unfolds slowly, full-bodied, complete and juicy, offering a mysterious sensation of delicate power. A long, subtle finish, with great flavour and tannins that feel almost weightless. A delightful wine.”

Vinous (N. Martin): 96-98/100 “A mixture of brambly red fruit, briar, a touch of cassis and orange rind that is beautifully delineated. The palate is exquisite: very fine tannins, tangible minéralité, very cohesive and focused, with a very complex, peppery finish that goes on and on and on. Svelte, harmonious and tender, this ranks amongst the best vintages from Haut-Bailly in recent years."

La Revue du Vin de France : 96-97/100 “Haut-Bailly delivers a wine of remarkable purity, driven by vibrant, clearly defined fruit. The gentle extraction emphasises finesse and reveals high-quality, silky tannins that are perfectly integrated. The palate, fluid and harmonious, unfolds naturally, without ever feeling forced. The long, elegant finish confirms the estate’s consistency and distinguished style. Shielded from extreme weather, the terroir expresses itself perfectly, giving rise to a refined and balanced wine that will go down in the château’s history.” 

Bettane+Desseauve : 96-97/100 “Remarkably complex, combining notes of red fruit, smoke, flowers and spices in a style of rare delicacy. Dense from the very first sip, the palate impresses with its controlled power, elegant tannic structure and a fresh, mineral finish of great length. A great Haut-Bailly.”

Vinous (A. Galloni): 95-97/100 “The 2025 Haut-Bailly is fabulous. Here, too, the purity of the fruit is remarkable. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, blood orange, pomegranate, mint and star anise give the 2025 a gorgeous and palpable sense of exoticism. The 2025 impresses with its elegance and finesse. Floral and savory overtones linger on the clean, supremely polished finish. Very fine."
