Château Haut-Bailly, an emblematic property located in Pessac-Léognan embodies timeless elegance and an unwavering pursuit of excellence among Bordeaux’s Grands Crus Classés. Nestled atop one of the highest ridges on Left Bank, the estate rests on deep gravel soils— a terroir that endows its wines with finesse, complexity, and depth. Above all, Haut-Bailly represents a style—a signature instantly recognizable, shaped by a meticulous attention to detail.
Since 1998, the Wilmers family has cared for the estate with dedication, entrusting its leadership to Véronique Sanders. A descendant of a line of winemakers, Véronique embodies the very essence of Haut-Bailly: a rare blend of discretion, resolve, and forward-thinking vision. Her leadership bridges tradition and modernity, scientific discipline and human sensitivity.
Together with the estate’s team, she has initiated an ambitious transformation: a striking new winery, sustainable viticultural practices, and a deep-rooted environmental commitment. The semi-underground cellar, harmoniously integrated into the landscape and certified Haute Qualité Environnementale, stands as a symbol of this dynamic—uniting functional beauty, technical innovation, and energy efficiency. With a deep commitment to sustainability and precision winemaking, the estate crafts wines celebrated for their purity, balance, and enduring excellence.
