2023 Château Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 79% Cabernet Sauvignon; 19% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot.

There are further refinements at Batailley; the new third wine has knock-on improvements for the grand vin. The 2023 has just as much weight as the hugely popular 2022 but feels more restrained, with an accent on fresh blackcurrant and smooth, deep tannins. On the finish the wine shows its class, adding a layer of greater focus. This is a fine vintage, yet paradoxically seems easy to drink. This has lots of pleasure in store.

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.
