Batailley Magnum 2000

HED33371 150cl 12.5%
The 2000 Château Batailley is rather wonderful at present. Beautifully balanced, with great depth of fruit, flavour and character. The nose reveals red cherry aromas, as well as black pepper, cloves and herbs. On the palate, the wine is full of elegance, with dark and red berries, minerality, herbs and coffee. Perfect to drink now but the wine has at least another 5 years to be enjoyed at its best.

Chateau Batailley

The historic Château Batailley is a Fifth Growth estate in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Situated on a plateau to the west of the First Growth of Mouton Rothschild, Batailley is one of the oldest chateaux in the Bordeaux region, dating from the 15th century.

In the past two decades, there has been a significant upturn in quality of the Château Batailley grand vin – a typical Left Bank Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend with Merlot and smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine exhibits classic Pauillac character – concentrated flavour, good structure and ripe tannins.

Vinification at Château Batailley is conventional: grapes are de-stemmed and fermented in steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in both steel tanks and barrels, and the wine is matured barriques (about half of them new) for 16-18 months before bottling. Since 2014, Batailley has produced a second wine, Lions de Batailley, using grapes from younger vines on the 55ha estate. This wine is in a comparable style to the grand vin.
