Description
The opulence and structure of an exceptional Pauillac
2018 was an exceptional vintage for the Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, located on the left bank of Bordeaux, Château Batailley.
After a difficult beginning to the year, marked by a very rainy spring and a strong mildew pressure due to late blight in July, a beautiful summer followed, bringing with it plenty of sunshine for 4 months. This helped the fruit to ripen fully. The harvest took place between September 18th and October 9th, yielding grapes whose quality foreshadowed an exceptional vintage.
Blending Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), Merlot (23%) and Petit Verdot (3%), the Château Batailley 2018 offers a great expression of a Pauillac grand vin. 2018 produced wines of a dark and deep colour. The nose seduces with its intense aromas, underlined by the presence of fruit. The palate is powerful and opulent, revealing a massive structure with tannins already perfectly smooth and stretching into a long finish. An exceptional vintage, the Château Batailley 2018 foreshadows a brilliant future ahead of it, made possible by a great ageing potential.
