Description

Château Haut-Batailley is a distinguished wine estate situated in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a history spanning centuries, the estate has earned renown for its production of high-quality red wines. Covering approximately 22 hectares, the vineyard benefits from gravelly soils and a favorable microclimate, ideal for nurturing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. Château Haut-Batailley's wines are celebrated for their depth, structure, and aging potential, showcasing ripe fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a distinct Pauillac character. Under the ownership of the Cazes family, who also own Château Lynch-Bages, the estate combines traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovations, solidifying its reputation as a cornerstone of the Pauillac appellation.

*** 92 points Robert Parker ***
"Tasted at a vertical tasting at the château. The 2005 Haut Batailley obviously has a more intense bouquet than the 2004 with blackberry, wild hedgerow and cold gravel scents. It is still quite tight, but there is very fine precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe earthy black fruit. It is actually more approachable than I was expecting for a 2005 having loosened its tie in recent years. There is great depth here and fine mineralité, completing what is a classy and sophisticated Pauillac that should repay further bottle age. Chapeau! Tasted July 2016. " E Robert Parker
