Located in the Bordeaux appellation of Pessac-Léognan, Château Haut-Bailly is a Grand Cru Classés estate, ranked within the 1953 and 1959 Classification of Graves.
This 2020 vintage is made from a blend of: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot: aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
Château Haut-Bailly is a wine estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Bordeaux, France. It has a history dating back to the 17th century, with vineyards established on the estate since the mid-1800s. The estate produces red wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc.
France is widely recognized as one of the world's premier wine-producing countries, renowned for its diverse range of wine styles and regions, including Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy.
Grand Cru is the highest classification level in the French wine hierarchy, signifying vineyards of exceptional quality and prestige, particularly in regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace, and Champagne. In Burgundy, the term refers specifically to the finest vineyard sites, often located on prime slopes with ideal exposure, drainage, and soil composition. Grand Cru wines make up only a small fraction of production but are renowned for their complexity, concentration, and aging potential. Unlike lower classifications, Burgundy Grand Cru wines are labeled solely with the vineyard name—such as Grands Échézeaux or Le Chambertin—without the village name, emphasizing their elite status. In Bordeaux, Grand Cru can refer to classified estates rather than specific vineyard plots, as seen in the 1855 Médoc classification or the Saint-Émilion ranking system. Regardless of the region, Grand Cru designates wines that consistently demonstrate the highest level of terroir expression, craftsmanship, and longevity.
