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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVol: \u003c\/strong\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains Sulphites\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIBENDUM FINE WINE","offers":[{"title":"2017","offer_id":55482582630785,"sku":"41425","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0862\/0858\/files\/CHATEAUBATAILLEYPAUILLAC2017GRANDCRUCLASSE_FINE_WILDUK_1cabe077-b6b8-4594-9514-b45f3cec70c8.jpg?v=1759928470","url":"https:\/\/www.fineandwild.com\/products\/chateau-batailley-pauillac","provider":"FINE \u0026 WILD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
