At the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Haut-Bailly benefits from an ideal topography. Its vineyards are planted on gravel, sand and clay soils, whose gentle slopes ensure excellent drainage. The subsoil is made up of fossils and marine sediments, which give the wines a certain freshness. At the heart of the estate, beneath the windows of the château, lies one of Haut-Bailly’s most precious jewels: a parcel of hundred-year-old vines that give the wines of Haut-Bailly their timeless soul and consistency.

Technology at the service of terroir: parcel-based vinification ensures optimum precision in the making and blending of the wine, revealing the character of each micro-parcel in the vineyard. Around thirty concrete vats are used to monitor the development of each batch during fermentation, always with the same aim in mind: to preserve the fruit and extract silky tannins through temperature control and gentle pumping over.
