Château Batailley 5me cru classe, Pauillac

Château Batailley is recognised as Pauillac’s pillar of value by collectors, renowned for delivering classically-structured Bordeaux at a fraction of the price. Owned by the Castéja family of négociants Borie-Manoux, it is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. A cabernet sauvignon dominant blend with smaller components of merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot, it is a solid, classically structured mid-weight Pauillac displaying fresh notes of cassis and a backbone of fine-grained tannins.
