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.

An especially strong effort for this estate, the 2022 Batailley exhibits aromas of dark berries, cassis, licorice and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate. It's a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the balance Petit Verdot.

Inky crimson with a black core. Intense, pure cassis. Dark, savoury and spicy. Massively tannic so that it's quite hard to taste at the moment even if there's plenty of fruit. Embryonic, dense, long.
Pauillac wines have a deep colour.
These wines are potent and robust, particularly during blending, where the power of sauvignon prevails.
The tannin structure resulting from this process gives these wines incredible ageing capacity.
By adding merlot to the blend, Pauillac wines are well-rounded and fruity. After ageing, these wins become highly complex.
Our first wine, designated AOC Pauillac, and categorised as Cinquième Grand Cru Classé since 1855, is a typical Pauillac wine.
This dark ruby wine smells sophisticated, rich and intense when opened, with a powerful nose of black- and red-fruit aromas. In the mouth, its robust, balanced flavour shines through, with pronounced notes of blackcurrant and spices and a long, captivating finish.
Considered an excellent wine of guard, it ages extremely well and can be kept for many years before use.

Dark in color, it develops an intense bouquet of black fruits, sweet spices and empryreumatic notes. Very racy, the palate is compact and tender, market by a strong tannic structure and a creamy finish. Remarkable persistence, with notes of fresh fruit.
