Ch.Haut Batailley 2018 750ml

WineSpectator -Mar 31, 2021-JM
Juicy, fresh and nicely compact, with sleek iron along the edges of a core of steeped plum and cassis fruit flavors. Subtle tugs of savory, tobacco and cedar through the finish, with a last, lingering perfumed whiff of dark tea. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2038.

Historically the estate was part of Chateau Batailley until its purchase by the brothers Francois and Marcel Borie in 1932, and division into two properties 1942, in order to prevent inheritance difficulties. The smaller part which did not include the Batailley chateau became the property of Francois Borie who added to its vineyards with land acquisitions from Chateau Duhart-Milon while also running Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. Following his death in 1953, the property passed on to his daughter Francoise de Brest-Borie, while being administered by her brother and Ducru-Beaucaillou owner Jean-Eugene Borie.The estate is still run by the Borie family who also own Ducru-Beaucaillou and Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
