Haut-Bailly is a striking estate. Quite unusually for Bordeaux, grape varieties are co-planted within the four hectares that comprise the property, including dollops of Malbec and Petit Verdot that usually find their way into the blends. The 2013s are defined by their silky tannins and pure texture. The wines are naturally smaller in size than normal, but they speak to balance. Yields are down more than 50%, mostly because of the irregular flowering. The 2013s were vinified at lower temperatures than normal and are likely to spend less time in barrel. Only 40% of the total production made it into the Grand Vin.
