Producer: Château Batailley, classified as a Fifth Growth in 1855, stands as one of Pauillac's oldest estates, with its history dating to the 15th century. The château's name comes from a decisive battle fought here during the Hundred Years' War. Under the stewardship of the Borie-Manoux family since 1932, this historic estate combines traditional winemaking philosophy with modern precision. The 57 hectares of vineyards include some of the appellation's most cherished gravel-rich plots.

Vintage: 2017 presented challenges with April frosts, though Batailley's position near the Gironde estuary provided crucial protection. A warm, dry summer followed, leading to earlier-than-usual harvest. The resulting wines show remarkable freshness and elegance, if not the power of vintages like 2016. This vintage particularly rewards those seeking classical Pauillac character.
