Chateau Batailley Pauillac 5eme Grand Cru Classe

The nose is intensely aromatic, offering notes of blackcurrant, cassis, and ripe plums, with hints of cedar, tobacco, and violets. On the palate it delivers layers of dark fruit, licorice, and baking spices.

The château, named after a historic battle (“bataille”) fought on its land during the Hundred Years’ War, produces wines that exemplify classic Left Bank Pauillac power and structure.
