Château Haut-Bailly 2024

Château Haut-Bailly est un Cru Classé de Graves situé dans la commune de Léognan, dont les 28 hectares de vigne sont très bien exposés, en hauteur, sur un sol rocailleux à l'est du village. L'assemblage comprend du cabernet sauvignon (65%), du merlot (25%) et du cabernet franc. L'élevage prend place en petites barriques (50% de bois neuf) qui donnent un vin souple et concentré, au toucher de bouche soyeux. Château Haut-Bailly est un bordeaux résolument moderne qui a gagné en profondeur ces dernières années. Des vignes centenaires couvrent environ un quart de la surface du domaine.

Vinous

The 2024 Haut-Bailly was picked from September 25 to October 4 and matured in 50% new oak, possibly with a shorter élevage. As usual, it deserves patience at this stage as it gradually opens and coheres with aeration. This has a perfumed bouquet built around redcurrant, cranberry and wild strawberry fruit. It's quite floral in style with finely delineated touches of freshly-rolled tobacco and wilted rose petal. The palate is creamy on the entry and velvety in texture, with finely chiseled, lace-like tannins. It is very well balanced with one of the few sensual vintages that you will find from this year. This will be much earlier drinking than other vintages, but that does not detract from what will be one of the most pleasurable 2024s to drink. 2030 - 2055
