  • Goedhuis, March 2015, Score: 89-91

    A slightly more luscious and succulent style than its neighbour Haut Batailley, and a little less in the classic Pauillac style, it is nonetheless a delicious all round Claret. Full and broad with herbal Cabernet flavours, some structured tannins and firm depth.

  • Neal Martin, April 2015, Score: 89-91

    The Château Batailley 2014, which Frédéric Castèja served before the Lynch Moussas instead of after, is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc matured in 55% new oak. He told me that hail in July touched the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines and decreased the yield to 33 hectoliters per hectare. It underwent a slow pumping-over and a warm maceration. It has a well defined and fresh bouquet, perhaps a little foursquare compared to recent vintages, light pencil shaving notes developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied is with rigid, unwavering tannin: masculine in style with a foursquare cedar and mint-tinged finish. This is a fine Batailley though not quite in the same class as some of their impressive recent vintages. The fast-improving Lynch Moussas might have the upper hand this year.

  • James Suckling, March 2015, Score: 92-93

    A big and juicy red with blueberry, cassis and chocolate character. Full and velvety with lovely purity. Wonderful ripeness of tannin. Cabernet sauvignon here.

  • Decanter, April 2015, Score: 89

    Finely expressed black fruits with spice on the nose and smoothness on the palate. Satisfyingly Pauillac and very good for the medium term. Drink: 2018-2028

  • Matthew Jukes, May 2015, Score: 16.5+

    (82 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 Merlot, 2 Petit Verdot, 1 Cabernet Franc) Classy, long and with such a high level of Cabernet Sauvignon this is a very firm and direct wine. The good news is that it is clean and the tannins are totally in check. This is a good Batailley and I feel it will mellow very successfully in due course. You will need some patience. It is not a complex wine but it will show that often-chunky Batailley can possess some class given the right conditions.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2015, Score: 16

    Dark crimson. Attractively intense pencil-shavings and graphite nose. Sweet start and has less concentration than some. A relatively early-maturing Pauillac. There is some tannins but not in huge register. Falls away rather on the finish. Drink 2020-2030

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. For many years it was not traded amongst traditional Bordeaux circles which contributed to its lesser known stature. This has changed only over the past couple of years. For some time now, Château 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.Read less

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.
