Description
Château Haut Batailley is situated at the entrance to the Pauillac appellation, and a large tower "La Tour l'Aspic" stands on the terroir, which is directly opposite Château Batailley and touches Château Grand Puy Lacoste and the St Julien appellation. The Cazes family, who are at the helm of Château Lynch-Bages, are the proud new owners of Château Haut-Batailley, a Grand Cru Classé from 1855 in Pauillac, previously owned by the Brest-Borie family.
The 2022 Haut-Batailley bursts with aromas of mint, loam, violets, cedar and spice, followed by a medium to full, juicy palate with a lovely core of fruit, lively acidity and powdery, structuring tannins. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. This is the fifth vintage produced by the Cazes family since purchasing the chateau in 2017. This is without doubt a rising star and a wine that will command a strong premium in the coming years, especially with the 2022 already receiving such high ratings from the international wine press.

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the 2022 Haut-Batailley offers up aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with licorice and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, firm and structured, it's a serious, rather muscular and extracted wine that begins to nod toward its stablemate Lynch Bages in style.

The 2022 Haut-Batailley exhibits rich aromas of cherry preserve, jammy berries and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ripe and extracted palate that's chunky and muscular, concluding with a vanillin-inflected finish.

Classy and very focused with blackberry and blackcurrant character. The tannins nicely melt into the wine with finesse and weightlessness. Elegant. 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot.

The 2022 Haut-Batailley has a wonderfully defined, mineral-driven bouquet with a touch of vibrant black fruit and perhaps more focus than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp acidity. This elegant Haut-Batailley builds beautifully while retaining tension and poise on the finish. This might be the best vintage to date under the Cazes family.

From: 2022 Bordeaux En Primeur: Balance Imbalance (May 2023)
The 2022 Haut-Batailley is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, gravel, cured meat, spice and leather infuse the 2022 with tons of mineral and savory intensity, backed by a formidable spine of tannin that gives the wine shape and vertical thrust. I imagine the 2022 will need the better part of a decade to come into its own. Tasted two times.

From: You’re Unbelievable: Bordeaux 2022 (May 2023)
The 2022 Haut-Batailley is matured in 65% new oak for a planned 16 months. It has a very intense and almost untamed bouquet that explodes from the glass, and only after five or ten minutes does it begin to show some restraint. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, fresh and multi-layered tannins, not dissimilar to the Mouton-Rothschild that I tasted a couple of hours earlier. With a satin-textured finish, this will need a decade in the cellar and some taming during élevage. Like a young tiger at the moment. It has 14.2% alcohol.

The 2022 Château Haut-Batailley is much more structured and darker than the Verso, offering classic Pauillac cassis, currant, tobacco leaf, melted chocolate, and espresso nuances, with an almost iron-like hint that emerges with time in the glass. Full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful, it's nevertheless balanced and textured. It's a brilliant wine, if not the finest vintage I've tasted from this château.

Dark in color, the wine is equally dark on the palate with its layers of black, red, and blue fruits, nuances of pepper, spice box, flowers, and currants. Deep, long, chewy, creamy and intense, there are gorgeous layers of fruit here waiting to be tasted. The wine is powerful, tannic, and long. The finish sticks with its fruit, and minty edge to the endnote. The wine was made from blending 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot.

Deep dark ruby colour with purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Nuances of cassis with delicate floral notes in the background, red heart cherries, fresh tangerine zest, attractive bouquet. Juicy, red currant, red cherry, some nougat, fresh acidity, mineral and salty finish, lively, animating style, good ageing potential.
Decanter
93/100 punten
Ripe, dark bramble fruits, concentrated and intense on the nose and on the palate but with such juicy acidity. This is quite serious though, the fine but filling tannins have tension and give a sense of strictness to the palate which is nicely countered by the generous, fruity, juicy fruit profile. Well made, almost chewy but still cool and refreshing with blueberries, graphite, liquorice and tobacco edges. Nice and easy, but still intense with depth and cool minerality on the finish.

The 2022 Haut-Batailley, 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple in color. It gallops out with bold notions of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and black raspberries, followed by hints of clove oil, tilled soil, and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate has a rock-solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and minerally.
