Haut Bailly Cru Classé De Graves Pessac-Léognan, 2010

Haut-Bailly 2010 is a classic Pessac-Léognan from one of Graves’ most respected estates, offering the refinement, structure, and quiet power that have made the château a benchmark for generations. As a Cru Classé de Graves, it combines prestige with a distinctive sense of place, bringing together elegance, depth, and remarkable balance in a vintage widely admired for its quality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep garnet core with mature ruby highlights, reflecting both concentration and age. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite, and subtle earthy tones, all framed by well-integrated oak and a discreet floral nuance. On the palate, it is poised and polished, with ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a fresh, mineral backbone that keeps the wine lifted and precise. The finish is long and composed, with savory complexity and plenty of energy. While already enjoyable, the 2010 vintage also has the structure to continue aging gracefully for many more years.

Production
Haut-Bailly is situated on a prized gravelly plateau in Pessac-Léognan, where well-drained soils help the vines produce concentrated, beautifully balanced fruit. The estate’s terroir is known for giving wines their signature finesse, minerality, and length, and the 2010 vintage benefited from favorable growing conditions that supported full ripeness without sacrificing freshness. Harvesting is typically carried out with careful parcel selection, followed by vinification aimed at preserving purity of fruit, texture, and the character of each vineyard block.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as hard cheeses with depth and character. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking now to allow the wine to fully open and show its aromatic complexity.

Producer
Haut-Bailly is one of the historic names of Graves, with a reputation built on consistency, elegance, and a distinctly Bordeaux sense of balance. Classified as a Cru Classé de Graves, the château has long been regarded as a reference point for Pessac-Léognan, admired by collectors and wine lovers for producing wines of finesse, longevity, and understated prestige.
