Château Haut-Bailly 2018 is a grand and exceptionally refined red wine from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, featuring dark fruit, mineral depth, and an aristocratic, classic expression. The vintage appears concentrated, silky smooth, and impressively precise, with lovely freshness, great structure, and an elegant balance between power, finesse, and aging potential.

The aroma offers blackcurrant, dark cherries, and ripe plums, complemented by violet, cedar, tobacco, liquorice, graphite, warm spices, and a subtle hint of menthol and smoke. The taste is full-bodied and dense with intense fruit, fine ripe tannins, and a vibrant acidity, where dark berries, spicy nuances, minerality, and a slightly earthy note combine in a long, nuanced, and silky-smooth finish.

The wine pairs excellently with beef, lamb, duck, game, and braised and grilled dishes – an obvious choice for grand dinners and for those seeking a Pessac-Léognan with both depth, elegance, and significant development potential.

96 /100

The 2018 Haut-Bailly is blended of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and it has 14.4% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to unlock a powerhouse of black fruit preserves, offering notes of blackberry pie, crème de cassis and black cherry compote, giving way to nuances of Chinese five spice, camphor, chocolate box and licorice with a touch of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with plush textured, rich black fruits, supported by a lively backbone and finishing long and spicy. It is decadently tempting to drink now, but give it 5 years in bottle to begin to see its full glory, while it should continue to transform for a further 20 years or more in cellar. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

96 /100

The balance between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine gives it swathes of rich fruit and a classic structure. Blackberry flavors layered with firm, dense tannins convey elegance and richness. This is a ripe wine, generously proportioned and ready for aging. Roger Voss

Wine Enthusiast

97 /100

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle ochre brightening on the rim. An inviting bouquet with subtle notes of leather and bergamot, black berries and cherries and a hint of sweet tobacco. Complex, juicy and silky on the palate with a sweet texture, supported by ripe but powerful tannins, mineral notes and a touch of dark nougat. Just starting to open up slowly now, great length and definite further ageing potential. (Age / Drink +40).

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
