Description

Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the family Castéja's and Borie-Manoux's flagship.

It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. The name is derived from the battle („bataille") - that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today - during the 100-years war in the in 1452. In this battle, the French re-conquered the neighbouring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point in the history of Aquitaine. A few years later the first vines were planted on this historical and blood soaked grounds. Chateau Batailley's garden was designed by Barillet-Deschamps, Napoleon III's garden architect. In 1855 Napoleon III created the classification for the Grands Crus Classés of the Medoc. And Batailley was knighted Grand Cru.

Batailley is an intensive typical Pauillac, with Cassis and very good structure. Very stable quality across the vintages due to the very old Wines

Tasting

Appearance: A beautiful purple dress.

Aroma: Fruity.

Palate: Beautiful fine expression with a slender body without overload and tannins already patinated that will become more refined. Soft and mellow wine, beautiful richness with spicy notes. Beautiful final length. He confirms the commentary of the primeurs "A great finesse characterises this elegant wine, very classic by its mineral tension".

Food pairing: A red meat of taste, with powerful flavors (lamb, pigeon, ostrich, sheep), game with feathers or hairs. As well as cheeses of character, refined and with powerful aromas.


Preservation: Ideal between 14°C and 16°C.

Tasting: 2015 and 2024.
