Les Hauts de Palette

Bordeaux blends across red, white, and rosé expressions.

Les Hauts de Palette operates in Bordeaux, where the maritime climate and gravelly soils shape wines of structure and precision. The winery produces across the region's classic palette: a dry rosé built from Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec; a white blend of Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon; and a red from the Premières Côtes appellation combining Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have rated the Château du Barail Reserve expressions—both rosé and blanc—at 89 points, while the Château Arnaud Jouan red scores 88. The winery's output reflects Bordeaux's tradition of blended wines, where minor varieties often anchor the major ones, creating complexity through restraint rather than dominance.
