Chateau Batailley 2022

The Château Batailley 2022 is a standout vintage for this historic 5th Growth estate in Pauillac, benefiting from a remarkably warm and dry growing season. This vintage is celebrated for its exceptional concentration and "classic Pauillac" power, balanced by a surprising freshness and refined, silky tannins. It received high critical acclaim upon its En Primeur release, with scores ranging from 94 to 96 points from major critics like James Suckling and Jane Anson. The wine is characterized by a deep, inky profile of crème de cassis, graphite, and toasted cedar, possessing the structural integrity for several decades of cellaring. 

96 Points - James Suckling

The blackcurrants and lead pencil reveal themselves immediately with so many fresh-flower undertones like violets. Medium-bodied, this has intense yet refined tannins that show length and elegance as well as structure. A fine interpretation of the vintage. 75% cabernet sauvignon, 22% merlot and 3% petit verdot.
