La Parde Haut-Bailly

Haut-Bailly was one of the first estates to create a second wine, Domaine de la Parde, in 1967. The name was changed to La Parde de Haut-Bailly in 1979 and simply La Parde Haut-Bailly in 2011. It has earned a fine reputation over the years and become a model for second wines. La 'Parde' is the name of an ancient Bordeaux grape variety.

Produced from the same plots as Château Haut-Bailly and made in excatly the same way, La Parde Haut-Bailly has its own particular charming and elegant style. It starts out quite velvety on the plate, going on to reveal a smooth, silky texture and attractive, upfront flavours without any heaviness. The wine's freshness and openness mean that it is enjoyable even quite young, although it can also age for at least fifteen years.
