La Parde de Haut-Bailly, born in 1967, has been renamed after 50 years of existence. As a second wine model, the name came spontaneously : Haut-Bailly.II. This "N°II" is proud to be a reflection of the grand vin ; this wine comes from a strict selection but with a capacity for more immediate pleasure. This new label will also be the symbol of a second generation that will write an additional chapter of the Wilmers family at Haut-Bailly – the construction work that began in the summer of 2018 reveals the dynamic character of the property. This label is of course different from that of its elder by the absence of the mention "Chateau", and restores the dot - touch of modernity - that existed on the labels of Haut-Bailly until 1985. The touch of red, matching the capsule is synonymous with energy and discreet elegance. The blend is a composition of lots marked with freshness and fruit, built upon a suave, elegant structure. Reflecting the virtues of the grand vin, Haut-Bailly.II can be enjoyed young, although it also has good ageing potential. The 2018 vintage is voluptuous and forms a colorful and dense wine, with a nice aromatic complexity. This wine is rich and powerful.

A very elegant red. Crushed berries, some spices and earthy tones as well. It’s full-bodied and structured with a balanced, velvety texture and firm tannins. Long, flavorful finale. A blend of 65% merlot and 35% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2023.

The second wine of this estate, formerly La Parde de Haut-Bailly, is a good reflection of the top wine. Firm tannins are embellished by black fruits that give richness and density. While tannins are there, the wine is generously textured and set for great medium-term aging. Drink from 2025.
