Punteggi dei critici
95 Robert Parker
Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting the château, the 2010 Batailley may well have been the best wine in a tasting that encompassed three centuries of winemaking at the estate. The nose offers outstanding delineation and mineralité. It positively fizzes in the glass with all that coiled-up energy, ladling out vivid blackberry and cedar aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, but it is the detail and precision that achieves a level that makes the 2010 a benchmark for the Pauillac estate. It sashays towards a tensile, tar and graphite-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is destined for long-term aging insofar that its quality will not be widely appreciated for many years. 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.
