Description
Ch. Batailley is one of our (and our customers') perennial favourites, and in 2006 this is once again one of the best value wines in Bordeaux. It is quintessential Pauillac with layers of creamy, ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit and hints of mint. Batailley's 2006 is not a blockbuster but it is rich, generous and stylish for the vintage and should age extremely well. Another triumph from owner Philippe Castéja.

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
