This is drinking beautifully; very pure and fresh, with a lovely nose that recalls a hot day on the edge of a wood - warm woodsy scented air and ripe blackberries. Very beautifully balanced and long. A fabulous bargain from the supremely elegant Veronique Sanders who is making some of the best wine in the Graves. L&S (Apr 2011)

The 2008 La Parde de Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan is a humdinger of ripe dark fruit, smooth texture and stylish balance.Anthony Rose, The Evening Standard (Mar 2015)
It's a bit early to start thinking Christmas for some (certainly not our Jane as she proved in this month's editorial) but the foresight of those who like to think ahead will be rewarded by this gorgeous second wine from Véronique Sanders of Château Haut-Bailly, a blend whose ripe and juicy cassis fruit with its subtle oak underpinning and seductively smooth texture is seamlessly balanced and just about ready now.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc. Very smart oak and integrity. Solid stuff, probably not overpriced. Planed down so that it is drinkable at this stage. Beautifully made. 2012-2017 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2011)
Château Haut Bailly
The now very reliable Pessac-Léognan estate of Haut Bailly was revived after its purchase by Belgian Daniel Sanders. He'd married into the Bordeaux wine trade in 1919, and formed a determination to buy Haut Bailly after tasting their awesome 1945. There was much work to do upon buying the estate, some of the vines were still ungrafted for instance, and the renovation was still not complete by the time Daniel's son took over in 1979. Véronique Sanders represents the latest generation to run the estate, albeit under the benign ownership of American Robert Wilmers who bought Haut Bailly in 1998 bringing more much needed investment, the fruits of which can be seen in the high quality of today's wines. The vineyards are planted to a fairly typical "Left Bank" mix of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.
