Lions de Batailley Pauillac

Bordeaux

Pauillac

Clearly Pauillac in style, with plenty of tannins, black fruit and juice. A touch of leafy rose stem on the finish, but enjoyable.

Inside Bordeaux

Chalky tannins that slowly but surely build in power and grip. Batailley is an estate that manages to seek out the heart of Pauillac in any vintage, and although Lions is leaning into a leaner, more fragrant version of Cabernet Sauvignon, the chalk, slate, crayon and mint still give it appellation character. 

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Lions de Batailley flows easily from the glass with fragrant notes of dried roses, black tea, sauteed herbs, and black olives leading to notes of ripe plums and Morello cherries. The medium-bodied palate delivers a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and crisp acidity with muscular red fruit flavors, finishing on an herbal note. The blend is 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc.

Incense and dark spiced chocolate, mint leaf brings Pauillac poise, although the imprint of the 2022 vintage comes through a closed tight tannic finish. As it relaxes in the glass a creamy aspect to the fruit arrives, and there is lovely spice here. Not sold En Primeur.

solbær, bjørnebær, kanskje til og med veldig mørkt kirsebær, noe urter noe tobakk❓Middels tanniner, lang og god💪
Ingen tvil om at det er en god vin, men er ikke noe som gjør at den skiller seg spesielt ut for min del, til den prisen kan man få mye mer spennende vin. ble heldigvis nytt sammen med digg fingermat, så jeg klager ikke🧀

Luftet noen timer, det trengte den🍷
Snerper litt. Lukt av mørke bær og skogbunn.
Solbær, lær og jordlig.
