Media Reviews
Jane Anson
High peony aromatics followed by slate and wet stones, this is sappy, well paced, black fruits, full of energy. Harvest September 4 to 22, 26.6hl/ha yield (30hl/ha average in Pessac overall), 45% of production in the 2nd wine, 30% new oak. 93 points
Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Haut-Bailly II is a gorgeous, wonderfully classy wine. The aromatics are especially prominent. Rose petal, dried herbs, mint, blood orange and cinnamon lend an exotic flair. Medium in body, with silky tannins and fine balance, the Haut-Bailly II is a delight. 91-93 points
Neal Martin
The 2025 Haut-Bailly II has a relatively straightforward bouquet with brambly red fruit, cranberry and raspberry, a touch of black olive/iodine and sous-bois in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, touches of graphite infusing the red fruit, a little granular in texture, with a slight balsamic edge on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Good potential. 90-92 points
