| Ch Batailley is reliably good and this vintage is no exception.
Fresh blackcurrants on the nose and fine raspberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with an earthy minerality. Dense fruit, ripe tanins and a wonderfuly finish.
|
| | | The Chateau is the highest point in the Entre deux Mers and has been a landmark in the region since the XVI century !
The wine is 100% Merlot which is made with very much XXI st century way and is aged for 15 months.
The wine is a brilliant garnet colour with delicate aromas of black fruits. Mouth filling and satisfying with a nice long finish.
|
|
| A blend of 56.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Carmenere.
Very delicate, subtle fruit-driven nose with attractive floral notes- smooth and full flavoured with a powerful finish- the finish is long |
| | Fine spicy, inviting dark berries and blackberry aromas. Juicy on the palate, appears almost light-footed, with the oak so perfectly integrated it is almost imperceptible. A very elegant and round wine, freshly structured. |
| | The wine has aromas of red fruits, tobacco, and spices with a round and fresh flavours and a superb finish with complex fruit flavours. |
|
| Concentrated, with spicy red and black fruits fine tannins. It has complexity and power and a mouth filling richness.
|
| | Our best selling claret. Approachable blackcurrant fruit, a fine balance of tannin. Acidity and fruit in a great vintage.
The Chateau is located partly in the commune of CISSAC adjacent to Pauillac and partly on the plateau of VERTHEUIL contiguous with Saint-Estèphe.
The plantings are 58% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc and these make up the wines to a greater or lesser extent according to the harvest.
|
| | A Cru Bourgeois which regularly produces to the quality standards of the more exalted Cru Classe of the Medoc ! A bargain
The Chateau is located south of Gruaud Larose in the commune of Cussac-Fort Medoc.
|
|
| | Very approachable, smooth everyday claret, very well structured and balanced,and excellent value .
Blend of about 65% merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

A beautiful wine, once again, from this property that has been on a superb qualitative roll for several decades. Dense ruby/purple with notes of graphite, background oak, youthful crème de cassis and blackberry fruit as well as a floral underpinning, it is medium to full-bodied, textured, rich and impressive. Still in a somewhat adolescent stage, it should hit full maturity in another 2-3 years and last at least two decades. Drink 2017-2037.

The 2016 Chateau Olivier has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, black olive and a touch of undergrowth, quite nuanced at first but unfurling with confidence within a couple minutes of aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, a pleasant salinity and fine structure, a touch of edginess here and a dash of spice towards that finish, which maybe just cuts away a little sooner than expected. That said, up until then, everything bodes well for a strong follow up to the 2015 Chateau Olivier. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2022-2045

|
| 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. The 2005 here was brilliant and the Chateau believe that the 2009 is even better. Plush red cherry, redcurrant, soy and forest floor aromas.On the palate there is ample freshness and focus. Medium bodied with lovely chalky tanins. Great finish and length- a stunner
|
| | Black fruits and toast aromas. Big and tannic, medium purple in colour with an expressive, youthful nose of liquorice, roasted coffee, ripe plums and slight chocolate . A wine with elegant and smooth drive. Well-layered and complex with flavours being very well integrated.
95 points wine advocate, 94 points Neal Martin taster in 2016

| | Coming from the same stable as Leoville las Cases in St Julien, the wine is firmly structured with firm tannins and dark fruit. Rich plum flavours are counterbalanced by solid tanins. |
