Score 90/100 · Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Apr 2025

Chalky tannins that slowly but surely build in power and grip. Batailley is an estate that manages to seek out the heart of Pauillac in any vintage, and although Lions is leaning into a leaner, more fragrant version of Cabernet Sauvignon, the chalk, slate, crayon and mint still give it appellation character.

It was on the site of Batailley in 1453 that one of the final battles (or “batailles”) of the Hundred Years’ War took place. Today owned by the Castéja family, the Fifth Growth is renowned for producing wine that is the epitome of classic Claret.
