  • Goedhuis, May 2007, Score: 88-91

    For some time now, Batailley has represented one of the best values in Bordeaux.Traditional and stylish, it often embodies the quintessential Pauillac spirit offering distinguished aromas of cedar box, and cassis enveloped in a finely structured yet fresh palate. The 2006 is true to form offering attractive dark berry bramble fruit and savoury characteristics in a full-bodied package. Hints of underlying complexity and depth suggest it will develop nicely with additional cellaring.

  • Robert Parker, February 2009, Score: 91

    A real sleeper of the vintage and a sensational effort from the Casteja family, Batailley has turned out a complete, powerful, classic Pauillac, with oodles of black currant fruit as well as hints of new saddle leather, toast, chocolate, and forest floor. Full-bodied, dense, and built for the long haul, this wine should be reasonably drinkable in 4-5 years and last for two decades. Good value. Drink: 2013 - 2033

  • Jancis Robinson, May 2007, Score: 15.5

    Dark blackish crimson with some development at the rim already. Sweet tealeaf aromas. Hint of char. Quite mild attack a bit diffuse. Rather green notes needs time. Not the most direct fruit and very astringent and drying on the finish.

Château Batailley

Known historically as one of the "forgotten" châteaux of the Médoc, Château Batailley is also one with great potential. Owned by the Castéja family, Batailley has been managed by Borie-Manoux, a leading Bordelais négociant, since the 1960s.

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
