Tasting notes
Made in a light, finesse style, this fluid, charming, ripe, medium-bodied 1997 exhibits smoky, black currant fruit, pleasing ripeness, and attractive levels of fruit. It should be drunk over the next 5-6 years for its undeniable easy-going personality.

A pretty, fruity red with good berry character and a hint of new wood. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a fruity finish. Drink now through 2004. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000.

About the producer
The Cazes family – owners of Lynch-Bages and Ormes de Pez – purchased Haut-Batailley in 2017. They’ve embarked on a significant replanting programme, and exciting things are likely to come from this address with its new backing.
