2013 Haut-Bailly II

France / Bordeaux / Pessac-Leognan Rouge
 
Second label of Château Haut-Bailly in Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux. 
 
Château Haut-Bailly was one of the first to produce a second wine in 1967.
La Parde Haut-Bailly was discontinued in 2021 and replaced by Haut-Bailly II.
 
This round wine opens after the first crispy fruit notes. Beautiful concentration. Softness and elegance.
 
Originated from the same plots and made with the same winemaking techniques as the first label, La Parde Haut-Bailly is subject to the same draconian selection controls.
Over time, it has developed its own personality, displaying a pleasant silky texture on the palate and achieving a style of elegance and refinement.
Although its softness and forward aroma mean it can be drunk sooner than Château Haut-Bailly, it
also has good aging potential.
 
Blend:
52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc.
