Bewertungen

  James Suckling
  "Aromas of berries, dark chocolate and walnuts on both the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and spicy. The tannins frame this nicely, with an intensity that makes it slightly chewy. 65% merlot, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet franc and the 2% petit verdot. Second wine of Haut-Bailly. Give this some time. Drink after 2027."

  "Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart tabakig unterlegte, reife rote Herzkirschfrucht, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, Nuancen von rotem Pfeffer. Saftig, feine Fruchtsüße, rund und zugänglich, hat Charme, präsente Tannine, fester Kern, mineralischer Abgang, bereits gut entwickelt, aber auch mit Entwicklungspotenzial ausgestattet."

  "First year with the vines from sibling estate Château La Pape also in Haut-Bailly II, raising the percentage of Merlot on clay, and adding a softness, and a greater difference of character with the main estate wine. Crushed rose petal aromatics, enticing on the nose, gourmet edge, black cherry and damson, overlaid with mandarin, graphite and fennel, a key touch of bitterness because the acidity is lower than in a typical year. 3.9ph, 30% new oak."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Vibrant, elegant, floral, and on the black, with red fruit side of the style range, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh, silky, and creamy, with energy, and a spicy touch to the classy fruits on the mid-palate and in the finish. The wine blends 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Malbec. This is the first vintage incorporating the vines from Chateau Le Pape. Drink from 2025-2037."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2022 Haut-Bailly II, a blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, reveals a gourmand, elegant bouquet of roses, dark berries and flowers. Medium-bodied, round and supple, it's juicy yet has an assertive tannic frame, concluding with a fresh, ethereal finish. It's very classic."

  "Based on 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2022 Haut-Bailly II is medium ruby-hued with a ripe, opulent style in its mulled red and black cherries, licorice, dried flowers, and roasted herb-like aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, round, seamless second wine that's going to drink nicely over the coming decade."
