Elaboration

Château Haut-Batailley 2012 is a red wine from the denomination of origin Pauillac, in the Bordeaux region. It is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot grapes. The average age of the vines is 35 years old and the soil is made of very deep coarse gravel. The harvest has been done exclusively by hand, and there have been two successive selections before and after the destemming process. The vinification took 3 weeks. The wine has aged in French oak barrels (60% new barrels each vintage) for between 16 to 18 months.

Taster´s notes

This Haut-Batailley 2012 presents a bright, deep, ruby colour. On the nose, the wine reveals intense fruit aromas with a background of slight spiciness. On the palate, there is an elegant balance with lots of fruit and freshness. Round, smooth tannins convey a charming elegance and purity, typical of the style of Haut Batailley. We recommend pairing this wine with lamb, beef bourguignon and cheese. We suggest a serving temperature of 18ºC.

The Winery

The Château Batailley, fifth classified growth in 1855 was divided by its owners (the Borie family) in the 20th century, ready for succession. Haut-Batailley has 22 hectares of vines ideally located in Pauillac, with an average age of over 40 years. In 2004, François-Xavier Borie had invested in a new fermenting room. In 2017, the Cazes family, owner of Lynch-Bages, another fifth classified growth of Pauillac announced they were going to purchase the château.
