The 2018 vintage of Haut Batailley, produced in the renowned Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France, is a true gem from the esteemed Chateau Haut-Batailley. Upon first glance, the deep ruby color immediately invites you in. Swirling the wine in the glass reveals an enticing bouquet of blackberries, cassis, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with silky tannins and a velvety texture. Flavors of dark fruits, such as plums and black cherries, mingle with earthy notes of tobacco and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate. This 15000ml bottle is perfect for sharing with friends and family, and is sure to impress with its complexity and elegance. Enjoy now or allow it to age gracefully for years to come.
Winemakers Notes
AN EXCEPTIONAL VINEYARD
Château Haut-Batailley, symbolised by the Tour l’Aspic tower, marks the entrance into the Pauillac vineyard. Located to the south-west of the appellation, bordering the Saint-Julien AOC, its vines stretch over 22 hectares of deep Garonne gravel soils. The Cazes family, who also ownns Lynch Bages and Ormes de Pez, acquired the property in March 2017 and has high ambitions for the estate.
The property extends over 22 hectares of vineyard spread over the Aspic and the Bécades plateaux, between Haut-Batailley and Pauillac, near the Gironde estuary. Its planted grape varieties, quite typical of the Pauillac appellation, include 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. The average vine age is 45 years and planting density is 10,000 vines per hectare. The vineyard has been perfectly maintained and monitored. Replacement vines have regularly been planted when needed. Château Haut-Batailley also has 19 hectares of non-planted AOC Pauillac land that has been resting for several years. The land to be planted is situated on the Aspic plateau, the so-called “Batailley” plateau and the Bécades plateau.
