Viniou Reviews

The 1998 Château Haut-Bailly is a remarkable Grand Cru from the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation in the Graves sub-region of Bordeaux, France. Known for producing elegant and complex wines, Château Haut-Bailly is situated on a unique terroir with deep gravel soils that influence the wine's profile. Although the blend isn't specified, it typically includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, contributing to its rich, harmonious flavour. The 1998 vintage is celebrated for its depth and structure, thanks to favourable climate conditions that year. Château Haut-Bailly's history dates back to the 1800s, and it is renowned for maintaining high standards of winemaking excellence.

To complement the refined structure and complex character of this wine, pair it with dishes such as roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or duck confit. These meats will bring out the wine's tannins and earthy notes. For a local pairing, consider a classic Bordeaux dish like entrecôte à la Bordelaise, allowing the wine's refined nature to enhance the meal.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of about 16-18°C. Decanting it for approximately one to two hours before serving will help to open up its aromas and flavours. Begin your tasting by observing its deep colour in the glass. On the nose, expect aromas of dark fruits, tobacco, and a hint of oak. When tasting, appreciate its balanced tannins, dark berry notes, and a long, elegant finish.
