Château Batailley Pauillac 2020
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
The name is derived from the battle (“bataille”) that took place where the château and vineyard
are today during the Hundred Years’ War, around 1453. In this battle, the French re-conquered
the neighboring Château Latour from the English, a crucial point for ending the 300 year long
reign of the English in Aquitaine. The vineyards spread out over 57 hectares with the average
vine age being 40 years old. The soil is silica and gravel, but the heart of the vineyard is on a
deep gravel bed over a subsoil of clay and sandstone. There are also some parcels located in
between Château Latour and Pichon Lalande.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
After a brief cold soak and the use of selected yeasts, the must is fermented in stainless steel
vats, with a very traditional vinification.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Batailley is a classic and very typical Pauillac, with cassis and currant flavors and a very firm
structure. Dark ruby/purple in appearance Chateau Batailley strikes the nose with classic
aromas of red and black currant along with cedar and earth. The wine is full-bodied on the
palate with wonderful spice and structure.
