🌸 A classic Pauillac with a Margaux-like charm—structured, floral, and beautifully refined.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with purple hues—intense and polished.

👃 On the Nose:
Lifted and elegant. Aromas of fresh blackberry, red cherry, and violets rise from the glass, joined by hints of cedar, graphite, and subtle spice. Gains complexity and depth with aeration.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and poised. Silky tannins frame vibrant red and black fruit, layered with floral and saline nuances. Harmonious and lithe through the mid-palate, with a lingering, savoury finish that’s both fresh and satisfying.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with roast beef, lamb chops, duck breast, or truffle risotto. A stately match for refined dishes and celebratory meals.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Approachable in youth with decanting, but will evolve gracefully over 15–20+ years, gaining further complexity and depth.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Château Batailley Grand Cru Classé balances Pauillac power with surprising grace. A wine of precision, polish, and timeless Left Bank pedigree.
