Pauillac

Red wine with a medium, towards well rather, dark ruby-red. Quite elegant nose here. I would talk about the classic style, with some toasted wood, roasted coffee, dark berries, cassis, some leather; but with a very good purity of fruit and it seems a high level of ripeness. Good density and weight here. It is really ample fruit with those dark-berry flavours; cassis, dark plum and some chocolate. The oak is noticeable on the palate, but I really talk about fine wood here, adding a touch of that roasted coffee, vanilla. Already with that finely grained tannins, contributing to the freshness and the length. Elegant and stylish - classic style. Really persistent, on the finish, very good length. Still youthful, but already quite delicious, if I may say so, but definitely a wine that will continue to develop for many, many years.

Sommelier

Dobbelmag - en bra vin for all del, men virker som 12 er blant de mindre fruktigere årgangene. Kunne nesten sagt snikkork, for det er hovedsakelig mangelen på frukt som trekker ned. Ellers har den fin syre, struktur og power. Kanskje ikke en perfekt match til sushi, men det kommer i andre rekke.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Batailley opens with oak and herbal notes over a core of cassis, baked plums, and cedar with a touch of graphite and leather. The medium-bodied palate is drying, with firm, chewy tannins and an herb-laced finish.

Fragrant, floral, precise, with graphite and crayon character that is immediately apparent on the nose. Captures the appellation and estate signature, with classicism and balance, depth through the mid palate and slim, savoury blue and black fruits. Well constructed, and no question that this can age - easy to project forward to think that in a decade this will be in full Batailley swing. 57% new oak for ageing, Casteja family estate.

Inside Bordeaux

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. 57% new oak for ageing. Harvest September 12 through to October 5, Axel Marchal consultant, Philippe and Frederic Castéja owners.

You can't ignore the construction of the tannins here, but there is a plenty of juice in between and this is a gorgeous Batailley. On brand Pauillac, as it so often is, delivering slate, liquorice, energy, cassis, blackberry, orange peel, cardamom, black pepper, graphite, grip. Classic balance also, you don't feel you are in an extreme vintage here. Two thirds of the production is in the first wine of Batailley in this vintage. 55% new oak. A label in honour of Queen Elizabeth II also...

Always a Pauillac that I love to recommend, as it is packed with appellation signature, and it suits the slightly serious character of 2020. Entirely delivers on En Primeur promise, with charcoal, cigar box, slate, crayon and fragrant mint leaf set against waves of black cherry and cassis fruit. 42hl/ha, owned by the Casteja family.

Dyp rød farge. Solbær, urter og kryddertoner på duft og smak. Fyldig flott smak med god konsentrert ettersmak. Medium pluss syrlighet. Lang ettersmak. 600 flasker tilgjengelig i Norge.

The 2018 Batailley has a deep garnet-purple color. It opens with notes of cedar, clove oil, and wild sage, over a core of redcurrants, black cherries, and cassis, plus a hint of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers great intensity of tightly wound fruit, framed by grainy tannins and compelling tension, finishing long.

Mørke og røde bær på nesen, solbær, lær, tobakk, lakris og trøffel. 

Smak av sylta cassis og lakris. Pen konsentrasjon med fin lengde. 

Smakt hos Chateau Lynch Bages.

Expert

Château Batailley 2016 er en hørlig vin fra den klassiske Pauillac-regionen i Bordeaux. Denne årgangen har en dybde og finesse, som for meg åpner opp til et nytt level. Tanninene er for meg velintegrerte og trer frem med en eleganse og mykhet og gir for meg vinen en flott lengde.😊 Jeg vil tro at denne vil ha et betydelig lagringspotensial. Men allerede nå så tilbyr denne en fantastisk smaksopplevelse.😊 Dette er en  fantastisk representant for Pauillac og virkelig noe for samlere og vinelskere.😊

Mørk, rik og påkostet duft. Ingen påtagelig sminke (aka brente fat), bare mørk, varm frukt og forsiktig vanilje. Vokser i munnen med myke tanniner. Bred finish. Litt eukalyptus. Henger lenge. Kan godt drikkes nå, men jeg har tro på at den har mer å gi nedover i gaten

The 2014 Batailley is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. Scents of leather, dried herbs, and damp soil lead to a core of stewed plums and dried figs. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and slightly dried out, with a rugged finish.

The 2013 Batailley is medium garnet colored with a touch of brick. It rolls out with open-knit notes of kirsch, dried plums, and fruitcake, plus suggestions of unsmoked cigars, tree bark, and graphite. The medium-bodied palate has an appealing core of youthful black fruit with a firm, chewy texture and an herbal lift on the finish.

Oppleves som ganske ung. Taniner som sparker litt, noe ubalanse, noe eike preget. Tett mørk frukt. Kan se for meg at dette blir riktig så flott om noen år. 

We are in full on classic Pauillac territory here, sculpted and balanced juicy blackcurrant and bilberry fruits, great lift on the finish, one of best value wines of the tasting, sleek tannins, studded with freshly cut herbs and charcoal. For a long time the 2009 was the best of the two vintages at Batailley, but the 2010 is now taking the lead. 55% new oak for ageing, Philippe Casteja owner.

Love this wine, I drink it regularly at home, and it always performs excellently in blind tastings, delivering so much of what we love about Pauillac. Ruby red colour, still vibrant, full of silky black fruits, pencil lead and mint leaf, revs up through the mid palate with layers of bilberry, cassis, slate and crushed rocks. You will get longer-lasting Pauillac 2009s, but this is thoroughly enjoyable and built to share. 55% new oak for ageing, Philippe Casteja owner.

Old school charm, well balanced, pencil lead, crayon, graphite, cassis, plum, mint leaf, signature Batailley, bounding energy, in the way that Gloria was finessed classic St Julien, this plays the same role in Pauillac. Sums up why 2005 works - so drinkable today and yet will keep on delivering for 30 years. Love this. Doesn't shout out its presence, but it just exudes confidence and restrained power. 50% new oak, Denis Dubourdieu consultant, Philippe Castéja owner.

Nydelig🫶🏼

Mørke bær, lær, skogbunn. Fortsatt en del frukt og taninner til stede👌🏼

En veldig bra flaske, fortsatt MN og fin kork.


Tobakk frukt lang, moden bordeaux. En drøm i munnen.
Litt stram i begynnelsen men etter 10-15 minutter i glasset (1 time i dekanter) åpned den seg helt perfekt. Korken var litt skadet så hadde lave forhåpninger!
