Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting at the château, the 2005 Batailley continues to be an excellent Pauillac that I suspect is overshadowed by some of its more illustrious and, let's not forget, more expensive neighbors. Here, it has an effervescent bouquet with vibrant red berry fruit and superb mineralité. This is extremely well focused, with hints of rose petal emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannin than in previous years. I feel there is still some oak to be fully absorbed, so don't be afraid to cellar this 2005 for another four or five years; but, even at this early stage, you can appreciate its precision on the graphite-infused finish. The 2005 Batailley is where the estate began its upward swing that is continuing to this day. Tasted April 2016.

Château Batailley
Historisch gesehen war das Anwesen Teil des Château Batailley, bis es durch die Brüder François und Marcel Borie 1932 gekauft wurde. 1942 wurde es dann in zwei Besitztümer aufgeteilt, um Erbschwierigkeiten zu vermeiden. Der kleinere Teil, auf dem das Batailley Château nicht stand, ging in den Besitz von François Borie über, der seine Weinberge mit Landerwerb von Château Duhart-Milon erweiterte (während er gleichzeitig Château Ducru-Beaucaillou leitete). Nach seinem Tod 1953 ging das Anwesen auf seine Tochter Françoise de Brest-Borie über, während es von ihrem Bruder und Ducru-Beaucaillou Inhaber Jean-Eugène Borie verwaltet wurde. Das Anwesen wird noch immer von der Borie Familie geleitet, die außerdem Ducru-Beaucaillou und Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste besitzen. Der Weinberg erstreckt sich über 22 Hektar und wird mit 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot und 10 % Cabernet Franc bepflanzt.
