Château Haut-Bailly

Producer description of "Château Haut-Bailly"

The estate is located in the commune of Léognan in the Pessac-Léognan area of Graves (Bordeaux), but should not be confused with the Château Haut-Batailley (Pauillac), which has the same name. It is classified as "Cru Classé". The estate, rich in tradition, was acquired around 1630 by Firmin Le Bailly, the Parisian banker who gave it its name. After many changes of ownership, it fell into decline. In 1955, the Belgian wine merchant Daniel Sanders (+1980) bought the estate and undertook a successful revitalisation. His son Jean Sanders sold it to the American banker Robert G. Wilmers in 1998. It is run by Jean Sanders' granddaughter Veronique Sanders. The vineyards cover 30 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The long-lived red wine is aged for 16 months in 50% new barriques. The second wine is called "Le Parde de Haut-Bailly". No white wine is produced.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
