Relatively pale crimson. Gentle, quite evolved nose with an autumnal undertow. Neat. Lighter weight than most Pauillacs. Good, if slightly callow, for current drinking. Slightly dry finish. Relatively loose.www.jancisrobinson.com, 01 Jan 2004

Château Batailley

Based in the appellation of Pauillac, Batailley was classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 classification. The land that Batailley now calls home has a rich and somewhat bloody history: in 1452, in the closing chapter of the Hundred Years’ War, this was the scene of a battle from which the estate now takes its name. The French took back fellow Pauillac estate Château Latour from the English, marking a turning point in the conflict.
