Château Haut-Bailly Pessac Léognan 2002
A leap in terms of colour and fruit character in the vertical to date, plumper and more primary in appearance, focused cassis and bilberry, with cold ash and mint leaf. A cooler-than-average vintage, and one that highlights the judgement always displayed at this estate, balanced and utterly moreish, waiting to be dived into and shared with friends. Harvest September 20 to October 15. First vintage of Gabriel Vialard as technical director, working alongside CEO Veronique Sanders and consultant Denis Dubourdieu. 50% new oak.
