2007 Château Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Named after a `bataille' that was fought here between the French and English (who else) 600 years ago, Batailley has once again lived up to its reputation of offering good value, early drinking, quintessential Pauillac. Made from 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, its toasty, ripe plum and cedar nose leads on to a palate with vivid cassis and raspberry fruit, creamy vanilla oak and a lovely long finish. Tried, trusted and adored, Batailley has produced another sterling effort in 2007.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 90/100
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Batailley offers attractive pencil box and cedar scents on the nose, showing more black fruit than the Lynch Moussas, greater sense of purpose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition and pleasant weight in the mouth, focused and classic in style that is typical of this estate, and it finishes with satisfying details and persistence. This has long been a strong, perhaps underappreciated performer of the vintage. It is drinking now but it will continue to give pleasure over 10-15 years.

Firm, earthy, cedary, herbal, truffle, forest floor, black cherry, and black currant notes are present in this soft, round Pauillac. It is meant to be consumed over the next decade. robert_parker, Wine Advocate, April 2010

Good deep colour, quite elegant blackcurrant fruit, good purity and nice expression, but lighter than in past years.
