Chateau Batailley

The estate has 57 hectares of vineyard, sitting on a plateau near the southern end of Pauillac. They are planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot – classic Pauillac proportions. The deep gravel beds here are ideal for the late-ripening variety, Cabernet Sauvignon which is king here.

Historically, Batailley has always enjoyed a reputation for being excellent quality and value, but over the last 15-20 years, they have really come into their stride. There has been more emphasis on the quality and condition of the fruit, resulting in wines with more finesse, yet still in the classic style. They can certainly be regarded as one of the finest, affordable Cru Classes.
