Haut Bailly歐百依酒堡 Pessac-Léognan
特色

在波爾多左岸的Graves產區中十幾家的頂級酒莊(Grand Cru Classe de Graves)之中, Château Haut-Bailly似乎不是很受矚目的一家,但是事實上它是名很早,並且曾經擁有輝煌歷史。15世紀中葉這裡就開始了葡萄的種植,現在的葡萄園規模則創立於16世紀的30年代;酒莊名Bailly源自17世紀的主人,一位巴黎的銀行家。19世紀下半到20世紀初,它的評價和價格曾一度和Latour、Ausone等頂尖酒莊並駕齊驅!然而隨著世事的變化,它的光華不再、漸趨沒落,到了20世紀中已經破落到不行,直到1955年Sander家族接手後才讓它逐漸恢復水準。不過1998年美國銀行家Wilmers入主本酒莊之後,由Veronique Sander繼續管理Haut-Bailly,本酒莊的水準才又明顯地大幅提升到頂尖酒莊的行列。

本酒莊所在的位置古時候稱為「小高地(Pujau)」,道出了它的獨特優異種植條件。它位於Legnan村的最高處,一片低緩的圓丘上,表土是混合細砂的礫石,下面是石灰質泥灰岩的獨特土壤。本酒莊只生產紅酒,種植了本區少見的高達65% Cabernet Sauvignon,其他是25% Merlot和10% Cabernet Franc。歸功於它的獨特風土條件,酒質是以紮實骨架裡,又兼有高雅細緻而著稱,甚至被形容為珠圓玉潤的口感!

The 2013 Haut Bailly is a cut above many Pessac-Léognan wines this year. It is bestowed an engaging, red cherry, strawberry and iodine-scented bouquet that unfolds in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite bold tannin for the vintage, but here there is the fruit to back it up and there is real density on the ferrous finish. "Team Sanders" has made a considered, harmonious and very agreeable wine for the vintage, even if it might pale against other recent releases. Just 2,000 cases this vintage. Last tasted at the property in March 2016 and you know, it might well garner a higher evaluation with bottle age.
