Grand Cru Classé Graves
Ch. Haut Bailly has a
stunning terroir, a sort of ridge
with gravel containing iron where the vines are incredibly strong with deep
roots and at least a 100 years old. This gives advantage to the vineyard, which
means that even in difficult years Ch. Haut Bailly is very successful and
highly recommended. Those who cannot afford Ch. Haut Brion might be better off
buying a Ch. Haut Bailly. The quality is very similar, but the price is 5 times
lower. The chateau belonged to the American Robert Wilmers who unfortunately
died in December 2017. It is now his son Mr Chris Wilmers and Mme Veronique
Sanders (family of the previous owners) that will continue the successful
policy. Chris Wilmers is an ecology professor at the university of Santa Cruz
in California.
