Chateau Haut-Batailley,
For laying down,
Ch. Haut-Batailley has a genuine Pauillac personality in 2014. Graceful and charming, it also appears to be delicate too, displaying a lightness of touch. There is a welcoming harmony to this wine. It just tastes as red Bordeaux should. Attractive, fleshy fruit nose, helpings of alluring dark fruits - in particular cherry and plum - and a spicy, lingering finish.

Chateau Haut-Batailley,
Ready, but will keep,
Named after a `bataille' that was fought here between the French and English (who else) 600 years ago, Batailley has once again lived up to its reputation of offering good value, early drinking, quintessential Pauillac. Made from 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, its toasty, ripe plum and cedar nose leads on to a palate with vivid cassis and raspberry fruit, creamy vanilla oak and a lovely long finish. Tried, trusted and adored, Batailley has produced another sterling effort in 2007.

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

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.

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!

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.
