Bordering Latour, Grand-Puy Lacoste, Lynch Bages and Pichon-Lalande, it was originally one property with neighbouring Haut Batailley (before the two were divided in 1942). In style, \u003cstrong\u003eChateau Batailley\u003c\/strong\u003e is classically Pauillac and a typical drinker's claret that ages exceptionally well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2008 Batailley is a 22% Merlot, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, a late harvest according to Philippe Castéja that finished on 20 October. It has a deep garnet core with little sign of ageing on the rim. The bouquet is fresh and vibrant: blackberry and boysenberry fruit intermixed with cedar and bay leaf. There is commendable energy after ten years. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp cranberry and blackberry fruit laced with white pepper, cedar and smoke. There is body and density afforded to this Batailley: a solid and trustworthy Pauillac that should age well over the next 15 to 20 years. Drink 2018-2038.\"\u003c\/em\u003e  Neal Martin, Vinous.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55538582618488,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/0835\/0238\/files\/Batailley2008bottlesquare.jpg?v=1777019680","url":"https:\/\/www.thewineroomscambridge.com\/products\/2008-chateau-batailley-fifth-growth-pauillac","provider":"The Wine Rooms Cambridge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
