The outstanding weather in 2015 resulted in rich, fruity wines with great balance and excellent structure. Made from very ripe fruit, they have a perfect harmony and a remarkable underlying softness. Powerful Cabernet’s dominate the blend. Rich, fleshy and dense, they harmonise with the well-structured Merlots. The Petit Verdots are dark and spicy, and bring a touch of complexity to the wine.

Château Haut-Bailly’s proud position tells a tale of enduring good fortune, perched atop the gentle slopes of Bordeaux's historic Graves region. Ancient archives prove that from as early as 1461 these lands were already recognised as excellent for the cultivation of vines. Centuries of commitment and unwavering conviction have established Haut-Bailly as a visionary estate, but one which also possesses a wealth of memories.

projects that are truly groundbreaking: from research into key molecules involved in the evolution of wine aromas with ageing to working with experts on the development of more gentle pruning techniques that respect the sap flow of the vines. Oenologist Gabriel Vialard, Technical Director at Haut-Bailly, drives progressive change through experimentation while perpetuating the estate’s traditional values. A discreet but efficient artisan, his hands-on approach to winemaking is tempered by an inclination for reflection and constant re-evaluation.

A long-term collaboration with Bordeaux University contributes to educating and enabling the next generation of winemakers, while membership of several research groups has brought tangible results and technological breakthroughs.

Petit Verdot is a red grape variety that is mainly used as a blending grape in Bordeaux-style wines. However, in recent years, it has gained popularity as a varietal wine in some regions, such as Argentina, Australia, and California.
Petit Verdot wines are known for their deep color, high tannins, and intense flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberry, black cherry, and black currant. They also often exhibit floral notes, such as violet and lavender, as well as herbal and spicy undertones.

The wines can be quite full-bodied and powerful, with a firm structure that can benefit from aging. They typically have a long finish and can pair well with hearty dishes such as red meats and stews.
