"The 2016 Haut-Bailly is a medium to deep garnet-purple color. The nose opens with beautiful floral notes of violet and lavender accented by earthy notes and chips of crushed stone over a core of kirsch, blackcurrant and wild blueberry. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it presents successive layers of red, black and blue fruits mingling with earth and mineral notes to culminate in a very long, perfumed finish." (Wine Advocate 2018). Delivery in wooden crate for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

Wine rated (guide 2021) 98/100
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
With its gleaming cherry color and brilliant highlights, this wine offers a majestic bouquet of red and black fruits, smoke and licorice. Dense, with very ripe, silky tannins, the palate reveals great power without ever losing its elegance. A great wine for a bottle of character.

About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are a must-have in the cellars of discerning wine lovers, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production).
About the domain :
"Cultivating a personal and terribly endearing style, this property, acquired in 1998 by American banker Robert Wilmers, offers a wine of unique uprightness and class.Véronique, Sanders, granddaughter of the former owner, carefully manages this classified growth on a daily basis, with the highly competent technical director Gabriel Vialard. She produces a harmonious, supremely well-balanced red wine, respecting Bordeaux traditions, but never overdoing it in an attempt to surpass the wine's very natural profile. The terroir of gravel over iron dross gives the wines a seductive Morello cherry bouquet, and a velvety flesh that is unrivalled in this part of Léognan. It's hard to fault a single vintage: all, with their inimitable, long, fine style, achieve excellence. As with any self-respecting great wine, Haut-Bailly can be austere in its youth. It will only truly reveal itself after a few years' cellaring.

About the wine:
Wonderful aromas of tobacco, sweet fruit and licorice follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins that caress every inch of your palate. I love the length and subtlety of this young wine. Magnificent. Drink after 2024.
