Chateau Batailley has been owned by the Castéja family since the early 1960s, who are also the owners of Chateau Trotte Vieille and Chateau. Lynch Moussas). Philippe Castéja is in charge of the daily management of the domain. The vineyard of this Chateau is 58 hectares with an average age of 40 years. Chateau. Batailley is a fantastic wine with an excellent price/quality for a Grandcru from Pauillac, but it is a wine that you have to give some time, especially given the high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignoin.

The 2021 Chateau Batailey offers aromas of sweet blackcurrant mixed with notes of cloves, baking spices, vanilla pods and pencil shavings. Full yet tight and full of intense tannins, but they become soft and polished. Very classic structure. 76% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 2% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc.

"The 2021 Batailley shows promise, exhibiting aromas of cassis, plums, licorice, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and dark chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and charming palate built around ripe, powdery tannins. Supple and giving, it will offer a broad drinking window." 92 points William Kelley - Wine Advocate
