Over het wijnhuis | Château Batailley heeft een lange, trotse geschiedenis. De naam ‘batailley’ is afgeleid van de strijd (“bataille”) tussen de Fransen en de Engelsen die plaatsvond op de plek waar het château en de wijngaard nu staan - tijdens de 100-jarige oorlog in 1452. Château Batailley is geclassificeerd als een 5ème Cru Classé en is een van de betrouwbaarste wijnen in Pauillac met uitstekende prijs/kwaliteitverhouding. |

Awards | "A strong effort for this Pauillac fifth growth, the 2020 Batailley offers up aromas of sweet blackcurrant fruit mingled with notes of cloves, baking spices, vanilla pod and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, with good depth and concentration, its pure core of fruit is framed by powdery, youthfully assertive tannins." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Aromas of black and red currants as well as orange. Ink pot. Cassis bush. Bramble berry. Graphite. Full-bodied yet tight and back-loaded with intense tannins, but they turn soft and polished. Very classic structure. Reminds me of a top Batailley from the 1980s, like 1985, but much more precise and clear. 70% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 2% petit verdot, and 2% cabernet franc. Try after 2030." - James Suckling "70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Deep crimson. Ripe black fruit, intense cassis with a hint of cassis leaf for lift. Big, bold and dense, firmly structured. There's a little bit of heat on the finish, which seems to make the wine slightly hard at the moment. But with all this fruit, and the chewy tannins, I think it is just objecting to being tasted this young. Needs lots of time. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Batailley has a well-defined bouquet with quite precocious blackberry and raspberry fruit, graphite, just a hint of aniseed, very nicely focused and poised. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile black fruit and armed with commendable salinity and a very detailed finish that lingers in the mouth. Want a classically-styled Pauillac at a good value? Look no further." - Vinous "Really quite fragrant, lots of purple flowers and purple fruits, ripe blackcurrants, pencil shavings - deep and brooding. Supple and succulent, immediately just so balanced and comfortable in the mouth, calm and quietly confident, less showing off, not so overt or upfront, but more mouthfilling and expansive. Tannins give a stronghold in the mouth but are fine and velvety in texture, cushioning the cool fruit - blueberries and black cherries with mint and liquorice edges but not spiced. There’s an air of style but also of ease, you could drink this now, it's so approachable and likeable in the glass. Mouthwatering acidity, long and giving. Lovely structure and frame, great definition and persistence from the beginning. Opulent and structured, this needs some time, but I like the texture and tension, excellent potential. 18 months ageing in oak barrels, 60% new." - Decanter |
