2008 Château Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

A dollop of fresh blackcurrants and ripe black cherries announce this consistently good value Pauillac. With a lovely, balancing streak of acidity running throughout, Ch. Batailley is an harmonious and precise wine with smooth, integrated tannins and a long, savoury, mineral finish. Owner Philippe Castéja attributes this blend of ripeness and freshness to the unusual length of time between flowering and harvest (140 days) in 2008; unique conditions which allowed him to make, yet again, one of our favourite value wines of the vintage.

Pauillac

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.
