After several warm and powerful vintages, 2021 returned to a more traditional Bordeaux profile. The growing season was marked by spring frost, a cool early summer, and careful vineyard management. Warm and dry conditions in September allowed the grapes to ripen gradually, helping estates achieve good balance and aromatic clarity. For the red wines, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the vintage shows bright red and dark fruit, refined tannins, and moderate alcohol. The wines are elegant, structured, and more about finesse than concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1225\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Dot Wine","offers":[{"title":"France \/ Pessac Leognan \/ Blend: Merlot \/ Cabernet Sauvignon \/ Cabernet Franc","offer_id":51879431995675,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3203\/8171\/files\/Chateau_Haut_Bailly.png?v=1772974138","url":"https:\/\/reddotwine.sg\/products\/chateau-haut-bailly-2021","provider":"Red Dot Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
