Wine Spectator April - 1991
Wine Spectator
An elegant wine, with a wonderful concentration of currant, tobacco and blackberry flavors that join up with hints of pepper and cedar on the finish. The tannins are present without intruding. Strikingly well balanced and should be ready to drink now

Mature and earthy bouquet, same on the palate. The wine is very mature with forest floor and mushrooms, but the acidity is still fresh.

Château Batailley

Château Batailley is a Bordeaux wine estate. In the Pauillac AOC, it is classified as a 5th Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 Médoc wine classification, and is one of the jewels of the Castéja family and Borie-Manoux. The name of this property comes from the word Battle which took place in 1453 on the vineyards and the Château. This was the Hundred Years' War.

During this war, the French recaptured Château Latour, which was occupied by the English and marked the end of British rule in Aquitaine. In the 17th century, vines were planted on these historically rich lands. The Château's park was designed in the 19th century by Barillet-Deschamps, Napoleon III's landscape architect. Château Batailley is a classic Pauillac, with a dark ruby color, well-structured and pronounced blackcurrant notes.

The best vintages of Château Batailley are 1959, 1982. The 2000 vintage and the 2009 wines are excellent. Finally, the 1990 grand crus classés and 2005 grand crus are particularly exceptional.
