Château Batailley: A Classic Pauillac 5ème Cru Classé

Château Batailley, a 5th Growth Grand Cru Classé from the revered Pauillac appellation, is a property steeped in history, deriving its name from the 'battle' fought on its land during the Hundred Years' War. It remains a benchmark for classic, long-lived Médoc wine, expertly managed by the Castéja family. This is an essential addition to any fine wine cellar.

Tasting Profile & Composition

• Grape Varieties: Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (approx. 70%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
• Appearance: Deep, dark ruby hue, showcasing its rich concentration.
• Aroma: Intense and complex, revealing hallmark notes of blackcurrant, cedarwood, graphite, and a hint of fine leather/cigar box.
• Taste: A robust and dense palate, characterized by a powerful, linear structure with firm, refined tannins. The wine boasts a beautiful purity of fruit and a persistent, age-worthy finish.

Food Matching & Decanting

Younger vintages will benefit greatly from a 2-3 hour decant to soften the tannins. Serve at 15.5°C (60°F).

• Food Matches: Superb with Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, Beef Wellington, or a rich Venison Pie.
