Chateau Haut-Batailley,
For laying down,
Located in the very south of the Pauillac appellation, this 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, while the coastal pine forests shelter the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds.
This delightfully rewarding wine comes from a classic vintage. Cassis and cherry mix gracefully with smoke, cedar and spice. The tannins are fine-grained but offer a little grip, while the palate is fresh with a smooth, lingering finish. Drink now to 2028.

Chateau Haut-Batailley,
Ready, but will improve,
The last three years have been fabulous for Haut-Batailley and Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Xavier Borie produces wines with so much freshness and flamboyance they are almost not like the tight brooding masses that a lot of Pauillac seems to be. Haut-Batailley wears its heart on its sleeve. It’s fun, cool, elegant with a fabulously long, fresh finish, leaving you with a mouthful of ripe raspberries. Lovely!

Chateau Haut-Batailley,
For laying down,
Succulent, with an aromatic and cassis perfume, this has genuine Pauillac personality in 2015. There is a great depth of earthy blackcurrant fruit. It is such an understated wine, elegant and charming.
The fresh mineral character is immediately appealing, such a refreshing palate. Everything feels harmonic. The dark fruits on offer are so beguiling. This estate often offers good-value wines which will be drinking within 10 years of the vintage, and we see no reason to alter that view in 2015.
Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot

In recent years Haut-Batailley, under the ownership of Francois-Xavier Borie, has been a regular value-buy of the vintage. 2010 has a charming attack of fruit within a beautiful structure of tannins with lovely freshness. Its purity comes through and, whilst classic, it is very attractive. This is one for the drinker’s cellar.

Chateau Haut-Batailley,
For laying down,
A blend of 66 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 34 percent Merlot, this is a serious effort. Now under the ownership of the Cazes family, this vintage will come with the new label. The nose is beautifully pure and ripe, full of cassis and a touch of eucalyptus, pepper and violet. It is brooding, and there is some depth here. There is quite some structure in the mouth too with grippy tannins, but those will settle nicely by the time this reaches your glass. The palate shows blackcurrant, hedgerow fruit, with great concentration and a beautiful freshness. A strong Haut Batailley in 2017.

Chateau Haut-Batailley,
For laying down,
The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested a bit earlier here than at Lynch, to capture its freshness. Even under its previous ownership, Haut-Batailley was a discreet, finely grained Pauillac and it remains so, but with more polish from the Cazes team. Jean-Charles wryly observed that this is their best-ever Haut-Batailley (it is their second vintage). Drink 2026-2045.

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.
