Château Haut-Bailly wines

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.
