CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2018 Haut-Bailly has a deep garnet purple color. It explodes with notes of plum preserves, baked blackberries, and crème de cassis, plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri, unsmoked cigars, and clove oil. Full-bodied, rich, and decadent, the palate has firm, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and spicy. (Tasted twice, at Southwold and at the Chateau.)
Jane Anson
First vintage under Chris Wilmers, succeeding his father Bob. A brilliant Haut-Bailly, living up to its En Primeur promise, packed with ripe rippling black and red berry fruit and a wonderful velvety texture. Still extremely young, more closed than it was during En Primeur but packed with layers of brilliance, saline quality on the finish, with a tight slate grip slowing everything down. 5% Cabernet Franc completes the blend, co-fermented with Petit Verdot. A yield of 21hl/ha.
