92-93 "Racy and balanced red with black currant, plum and berry aromas and flavours. Full body, soft and silky tannins, Elegant" James Suckling
Wine Tasting: Château Haut Batailley offers a rhyming wine with grace, charm, delicacy synonymous with unusual femininity for a Pauillac.
Food Pairing: Beef and Venison
In the spring of 2017, the Cazes family of Ch. Lynch-Bages acquired the Château Haut-Batailley estate from the Brest-Borie family, who had owned it since the 1930s. The fifth-growth property has approximately 22 hectares of vines, which are – on average – 35 years old.
Located in the very south of the Pauillac appellation, the property shares a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds. Its near neighbours include Ch. Lynch-Bages, Ch. Pichon Lalande and Ch. Latour.
The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 61%; Merlot 36%; Petit Verdot 3%) lie on deep gravel beds over limestone. It is classified as a 5ème cru classé.
