2020 Berry Bros. & Rudd Pessac-Léognan by Château Haut-Bailly, Bordeaux

Description

This is made for us by Château Haut-Bailly, one of the finest estates in the appellation and, indeed, Bordeaux. It is a classic blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Merlot, taken from younger vines and made in a relatively early-drinking style. A light herbal note brightens the nose.

The palate is vibrant but soft, with ripe blackberries and blueberries layered over a core of crunchy cassis. There is a wonderful richness and energy here, characteristic of the 2020 vintage.

About this wine

Chateau Haut-Bailly

Château Haut-Bailly is a Graves Cru Classé estate that has really hit form in the last 5-7 years. Haut-Bailly was bought by the Sanders family in 1955 and was run by Jean Sanders until 1998 when Robert G. Wilmers, an American banker, purchased it. It is located in the commune of Léognan, which is usually more associated with white wine production.
