93 Jane Anson " This is such a great wine to know about. Full of finessed pencil lead and liquorice, cassis and autumnal berry fruits. Elegant, with lilting acidity without sacrificing a creamy feel through the mid-palate, and really does feel like it is part of the Haut-Bailly family.  (1/2022)"

Coming from the team at Château Haut-Bailly, 80/20 Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as of 2022 there will be no more Le Pape.

Le Pape's 7th vintage under the Haut-Bailly umbrella, now well and truly into its stride. This is structured and intense, the raspberry fruit ripe and rich with pencil lead and ash giving balance, and a fresh lift that makes it overall super friendly and inviting. 

Wonderfully floral, Provencal-like aromas of lavender and roses with some stones. Full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a fresh finish. Lively and bright. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet sauvignon. Tasty and very drinkable now, but will age beautifully, too.

 Richly velvet with ripe tannins, this is a very accessible wine. Its ripe blackberry fruits are generous, full of spice and a texture that is rounded and brings concentration. The juicy character of the vintage comes through at the end. (RV)
