Description

Chateau Haut Bailly has a long history in Bordeaux. While vines were being cultivated to produce Bordeaux wine at what we know of as Chateau Haut Bailly today as far back as 1461, the estate’s first attempt at cultivating a modern Bordeaux vineyard truly starts in 1530. The wine of Haut Bailly earned a reputation of producing one of the top wines in Bordeaux. In fact, for a period of time starting in the late 1800’s until the 1920’s, Chateau Haut Bailly sold for as much money as the First Growths !

The 1964 Wine Vintage produced favoured the right bank which produced some opulent, concentrated wines with high alcohol, an opaque colour, super length and unbridled power. The harvest and weather favoured those producers on the right bank who harvested early (Graves, St Emilion and Pomerol). All of these wines reached the peak of their maturity two decades ago, but show little signs of decline today. They will probably last for another decade.
