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
Historiquement, ce domaine faisait partie du Château Batailley jusqu’à son rachat en 1932 par les frères François et Marcel Borie. Afin d’éviter des problèmes liés à l’héritage, il fut scindé en deux en 1942. La partie la plus petite, qui ne comportait pas le château, a été reprise par François Borie qui a augmenté la superficie de son vignoble en acquérant des terres provenant du Château Duhart-Milon (tout en gérant le Château Ducru-Beaucaillou). Après son décès en 1953, sa fille Françoise de Brest-Borie a hérité de la propriété, mais la gestion de celle-ci a été assurée par le frère de Françoise, Jean-Eugène Borie, propriétaire de Ducru-Beaucaillou. Le domaine est toujours administré par la famille Borie, qui possède par ailleurs Ducru-Beaucaillou et Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Le vignoble s’étend sur 22 hectares plantés à hauteur de 65% de cabernet sauvignon, de merlot (25%) et de cabernet franc (10%).
