Among the number of small but important improvements at this estate in recent years: more accurate harvesting, using smaller cuves for vinification; the use of a vibrating table, which in 2002 allowed the estate to eliminate the stunted millerande grapes and bits of stems between the destemmer and crusher; and less frequent racking of the wine. According to Veronique Sanders, Haut-Bailly did its normal cold maceration in 2002 but a very light extraction because the grapes were so rich in skin tannins. The young 2002, she says, has unusual density and structure due to the small size of the grapes.

Veronique Sanders describes the 2001 as a classic Haut-Bailly; the tough skins and small berries, she says, brought high sugars and acids and very good density. But she still likes the '98 best among recent vintages, followed by the '96 and '90. The '01 has 65% cabernet sauvignon and 35% merlot, whereas in 2000 the wine is a 50/50 blend.

Of the last three vintages, 2000 is the densest, says Veronique Sanders. "The vintage offers a perfect combination of finesse and power," she added. "We picked the merlot first, then the cabernet eight days later, getting full maturity. In 2000, we had plenty of time, and the weather was on our side." Most of the 2000 went through its malolactic fermentation in barriques (this approach was used for the '98 but not for the '99), and the wine had just been assembled the week before my visit. Classic Graves.
