Description

A superb success for the vintage, the 2006 exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a poised, classic bouquet of sweet black cherries, graphite, camphor, truffles, and a subtle hint of oak. Medium-bodied with a stunningly layered texture, impressive purity, and beautiful balance, this cuvee is haute couture in a glass. Although surprisingly approachable, it won't hit its adolescent stage for 8-10 years, and will last for 25-30 years thereafter. Bravo!It is extraordinary to see what the American proprietor, a banker from Buffalo, NY, Robert Wilmers and Veronique Sanders, the granddaughter of the former proprietor, have accomplished at Haut-Bailly. Together they are pushing this outstanding terroir to first-growth quality levels. It is an amazing success story, and readers looking for a quintessentially elegant Bordeaux need look no further than Haut-Bailly. 95/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (181), February 2009

Gorgeous nose, with fantastic aromas of minerals, berries and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and lots of gorgeous fruit. Very long and refined. Very close to the 2005. This shows wonderful finesse and length for the vintage.

Elegant nose, slightly smoky with autumn fruit, blackcurrant, leather and tobacco, elegant and classical structure on the palate, nice body with a lot of dark fruit, tightly packed, fresh and elegant with refreshing backbone of firm tannins, very good length, lovely purity and finesse, should age very well and be approachable from 2 years on. “MY TOP PICKS” THE WINE GUIDE - Andreas Larsson, June 2009
The 2006 vintage has very deep colour, an intense fruity character and, to our delight, an impressive tannic structure. The Merlot is smooth and the Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful. This vintage will undoubtedly be well-balanced, silky, and elegant. In short: a great wine and a credit to its terroir.
The exceptionally dry weather of 2005 continued until early winter and, although it rained in March, spring was one of the driest on record. Flowering began with the Merlot from May 29 to June 2, closely followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon. High temperatures and almost no rain in June favoured pollination and the formation of fine bunches of small grapes, promising a magnificent crop. A heat wave in July interrupted vine growth but came just at the right time. Overcast skies and cool temperatures in August helped ripen the grapes and maintain a satisfactory level of acidity and good aromatic potential. Two weeks of beautiful weather at the beginning of September (37-38°C) were extremely beneficial, and tests in the vineyard indicated alcoholic and polyphenolic levels identical to those of 2004 and 2005. The harvest began on September 13 with the picking of a superb plot of young Merlot. The remaining Merlot was picked between the 18 and 23, followed by the Cabernet Franc on the 25, and the Cabernet Sauvignon from September 27 to October 5. Thanks to the careful work on each vine during the year, all the picked fruit was healthy, aromatic and perfectly ripe.
