Appellations
Chateau Batailley released
29 April 2024
Chateau Batailley is the first Classed Growth to release their 2023. The price comes at a 14% discount to last year - released today at £324 per 12 / £162 per 6. Always classically Pauillac in style, from the heart of the appellation on a plateau to the west of Latour and behind the two Pichons. With consistent ratings from James Suckling (95-96) and Jane Anson (96 pts) this is undoubtedly an immaculate 2023 and a compelling Batailley. While Pauillac is not normally the first place to look for value, there will not be many better deals for top notch Bordeaux than this!
96 JA - "You want to know what Pauillac tastes like, roll up and enjoy this vintage of Batailley. Squid ink, slate, cassis, bilberry, slate, crayon, black chocolate, plenty of tannic grip, a smudge of grilled cedar oak and a squeeze of mint, it's all here."
