Chateau Haut Bailly, Pessac
One of the most prestigious vineyards, near Bordeaux
With a 30 hectare vineyard and located very close to the city of Bordeaux, this chateau has ancient origins and produces a very famous Grand Cru Classé of the Graves variety.
Vines were cultivated in this land at least since 1461. It changed hands frequently, with owners coming from Paris, the Basque country and even Ireland, extending its popularity to British customers in the 18th century. In 1998 it was bought by American Robert G. Wilmers who has focused on developing the property to prove that the wine deserves its "Cru exceptionnel" status.
They pick their grapes by hand to produce their famous Gran Cru Classé, as well as three other red wines and a rosé.
When to come
The estate is open to the public all year round, from Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00. Tours of the vineyard include visits to the vat room and barrel cellars for 15€. Seminars and events can also be organised here.
