About the Chateau Haut-Batailley 2021
The Château Haut-Batailley 2021 is a sophisticated red wine that reflects a "return to classicism" for this 5th Growth Pauillac estate. Managed by the Cazes family (owners of Château Lynch-Bages), the 2021 vintage is noted for its freshness and structural harmony rather than the raw power of warmer years. It offers a refined bouquet of cassis, plum preserves, and lilac, underpinned by textbook Pauillac notes of pencil shavings and graphite. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and polished, with delicately chalky tannins and a long, savory finish. Critics have highly rated this vintage, with Wine Enthusiast awarding it 94 points and recommending a drinking window starting from 2028.
Wine Enthusiast
The wine's freshness is impressive both in the aroma and flavors. It is rich while also refined and structured. Tannins and blackberry abound in equal quantities.
James Suckling
Offering up aromas of cassis, minty blackberries, lilac and pencil shavings, the 2021 Haut-Batailley is medium to full-bodied, supple and polished, with a succulent core of fruit and delicately chalky tannins. For many years, significant parts of this property were left unplanted, but as of 2022, all 41 hectares are now under vine; so, there'll be more of this Pauillac—with its new, more modern style—to go around.
Shows damson plum and black cherry fruit laced with a mouthwatering sanguine thread, while touches of fresh humus, dark tobacco and cast iron peek in on the finish. A touch trim, but has good energy and typicity.
