Chateau Haut-Batailley 2023 1500ml

Château Haut-Batailley: Reviving a Hidden Gem Nestled at the gateway to the Pauillac vineyard, Château Haut-Batailley stands tall with its iconic Aspic tower, commanding attention over the estate. A classified growth since the renowned Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, its rich history took a turn in 1942 when it diverged from its neighbor, Batailley. However, in 2017, a thrilling new chapter began under the stewardship of the Cazes family, renowned for their work at Châteaux Lynch-Bages and Ormes de Pez. Spanning forty hectares of land, the vineyard flourishes in soils enriched with deep Garonne gravel, of which 22 hectares are presently under cultivation. Upon acquisition, the Cazes family unearthed a remarkable opportunity: 19 hectares of dormant land, with planting rights in the esteemed AOC Pauillac, remained untouched since the devastation of Phylloxera. Capitalizing on this discovery, an extensive planting initiative took flight in 2018, meticulously guided by an in-depth study of the terroirs. Château Haut-Batailley embodies harmony and elegance, boasting a refined tannic structure that promises to evolve with time, revealing further layers of complexity and depth.
