Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting at the château, the 1982 Batailley continues to perform well despite never really being the "go-to" Pauillac in this vintage. This might be the best of a dozen or so bottles that I have tasted over the years. The nose here is the most intense that I have encountered, with pencil shavings infusing the black fruit and cedar and a savory touch that becomes more pronounced as it opens. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, a classic Bordeaux here with good structure and a bullish, tobacco-tinged finish that is conservative but does the job. It cuts away a little too swiftly, but there is just enough dryness to keep you returning for another sip. I can see this continuing on its plateau over the next 15-20 years; and, while it will never challenge the likes of Latour or Pichon-Lalande, it will satisfy a great number of wine lovers. Tasted April 2016.

Château Batailley
La tenuta fece parte di Château Batailley fino al suo acquisto da parte dei fratelli François e Marcel Borie, nel 1932. Nel 1942 venne allora divisa in due proprietà, per via di contese ereditarie. La porzione più piccola, che non include lo Château Batailley, divenne di proprietà di François Borie, che incrementò i suoi vigneti acquisendone da Château Duhart-Milon, mentre gestiva anche lo Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. A seguito della sua morte, nel 1953, la proprietà passò a sua figlia Françoise de Brest-Borie, mentre era amministrata da suo fratello, e proprietario di Ducru-Beaucaillou, Jean-Eugène Borie. La tenuta è ancora gestita dalla famiglia Borie che possiede anche Ducru-Beaucaillou e Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. L’area a vigneto si estende per 22 ettari (54 acri) piantati per il 65% a Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% a Merlot, e 10% a Cabernet Franc.
