One of the most consistent and reliable Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé estates, Château Batailley combines classic Médoc structure, precise fruit expression and strong ageing potential. The 2018 vintage was warm and generous, yet here it is handled with great precision – producing a wine that is rich and concentrated, while retaining the balance and elegance that define traditional Pauillac.
The aroma is deep and multi-layered, opening with blackcurrants, blackberries and plums, followed by notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and a subtle hint of smoke. With aeration, nuances of black pepper, cocoa, dried herbs and gentle earthiness emerge, adding depth and maturity to the bouquet.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a firm yet beautifully controlled structure. The tannins are ripe, dense and silky, true to Pauillac character, while the acidity is lively and precise, supporting the wine’s richness and ensuring long ageing potential. Flavours of dark berries, graphite, cedar and gentle spice dominate, leading to a long, dry, mineral finish with elegant hints of salinity and tobacco.
The vineyards of Château Batailley lie on gravel terraces over a limestone base in Pauillac, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to root deeply and maintain aromatic purity and structural precision even in warm years. This terroir is key to the wine’s classic tension and longevity.
The harvest is hand-picked, with careful grape selection. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by ageing for around 18 months in French oak barrels, subtly enhancing structure without overpowering the fruit.
