The name is derived from the battle ("bataille") that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today during the Hundred Years' War, around 1453. In this battle, the French reconquered the neighboring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point for ending the300 year long reign of the English in Aquitaine. The vineyards spread out over 57 hectares with the average vine age being 40 years old. The soil is silica and gravel, but the heart of the vineyard is on a deep gravel bed over a subsoil of clay and sandstone. There are also some parcels located in between Chateau Latour and Pichon Lalande.
TASTING NOTES
After a brief cold soak and the use of selected yeasts, the must is fermented in stainless steel vats, with a very traditional vinification.
FOOD PAIRING
Batailley is a classic and very typical Pauillac, with cassis and currant flavors and a very firm structure. Dark ruby/purple in appearance Chateau Batailley strikes the nose with classic aromas of red and black currant along with cedar and earth. The wine is full-bodied on the palate with wonderful spice and structure.
