Pauillac

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

Deep garnet-purple in color. Storms out with broody notes of tar and fried herbs, giving way to a core of red and black currants and boysenberries, plus a waft of black olives. The light to medium-bodied palate offers chewy tannins and bright acidity to frame the black and red berry flavors, finishing earthy.

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.

God karakter, parfymert, fyldig, konsentrert, fin syre, sitter godt og lenge.

The Castéja family, headed up by Philippe and his son Frédéric, make elegant, finessed and intensely 'Pauillac' signature wines at Batailley, and I recommend this estate in 2018 for its deft handling of the vintage. Concentrated cassis and blackberry fruits, with a precision and well-cut heft to the tannins. Will age well, and be ready to go in four or five years. 60% new oak. 52hl/h. Tasted twice.

Floral and lifted nose with raspberry, cassis, fine wood and mild spices. Dense palate with ripe and rounded extract, well-balanced with finely roasted notes, coffee, mocha and savoury dark fruit, and a long and weighty finish, well balanced.

Sommelier

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

Bang on Pauillac typcity and well integrated oak, this is juicy and well controlled, full of cassis, blackberry, slate, black chocolate, cocoa bean and crayon. Excellent quality, a real crowd pleaser, one to look out for. 60% new oak. Denis Dubourdieu consultant.

Fine oak, tobacco and cedar wood, dark fruit and cassis notes. Classically built palate with good density, rounded tannin, fine oak, good freshness and long dark fruity finish. Should develop well.

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.

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.

Expert

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!
