Chateau Batailley Pauillac 2016 750mL

Our first wine, designated AOC Pauillac, and categorised as Cinquième Grand Cru Classé since 1855, is a typical Pauillac wine.

This dark ruby wine smells sophisticated, rich and intense when opened, with a powerful nose of black- and red-fruit aromas. In the mouth, its robust, balanced flavour shines through, with pronounced notes of blackcurrant and spices and a long, captivating finish.

Considered an excellent wine of guard, it ages extremely well and can be kept for many years before use.

Tasting Notes:

The nose reveals an expressive mix of graphite due to the gravels in the soils. On the palate, the wine is supported by a solid base of tannins and displays pleasant mineral notes and dark berries (blackberry) as well as light tobacco-tinged flavours. On the finish, lots of elegance.
